H-1B Dismissed — Finance (2020): did not establish the proffered 'credit analyst' position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'credit analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the position. The petitioner's reliance on the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook and O*NET's Job Zone Four designation was deemed insufficient, as these sources do not specify a degree in a particular field is required.
