H-1B Dismissed — Finance (2016): did not establish the proffered 'financial analyst'
Decision Summary

The AAO found the petitioner did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement, noting the Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates that degrees in various fields are acceptable for entry into the occupation.
