Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the 'financial analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the required bachelor's degree in business administration, economics, or finance was too broad and did not constitute a requirement for a degree in a specific specialty. Citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the decision noted that a wide range of degrees are acceptable for financial analyst roles, which fails to meet the H-1B standard.
