Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'financial analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the role does not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, as supported by the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which lists several acceptable fields of study. The petitioner also did not provide sufficient evidence to show that a specific degree requirement is common in the industry for similar positions.
