Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the position of budget analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for the role, as various degrees are acceptable according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook. Additionally, the petitioner failed to show that a specific degree is a common requirement within the industry for similar organizations.
