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 found that the petitioner's minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree in a wide range of disparate fields, such as business administration, finance, and mathematics, was too general and did not meet the statutory requirement for a degree in a 'specific specialty' directly related to the position's duties.
