H-1B Dismissed — Finance (2019): did not establish the proffered 'analyst' position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner's minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree in a broad range of disparate fields (accounting, business administration, economics, finance, mathematics) did not meet the statutory requirement for a degree in a 'specific specialty' directly related to the position.
