Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the proffered 'data analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined, based on the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for such positions, as some firms hire analysts with business or liberal arts degrees.
Criteria Discussed
A Baccalaureate Or Higher Degree Or Its Equivalent Is Normally The Minimum Requirement For Entry Into The Particular Position
