H-1B Dismissed — Data Analysis (2020): did not establish the proffered 'data analyst' position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'data analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's list of required degrees (mathematics, economics, information technology, statistics) was too broad and did not demonstrate the requirement of a degree in a 'specific specialty' directly and closely related to the position's duties.
