H-1B Dismissed — Finance (2020): did not establish the proffered 'research analyst' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'research analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner's stated requirement for a bachelor's degree in a general field like Business or Finance, or a related but unspecified area, was deemed too broad. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not demonstrate the position requires a degree in a specific specialty directly related to the duties.
