H-1B Dismissed — Finance (2016): did not establish the proffered Budget Analyst position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered Budget Analyst position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The decision references the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which indicates that a degree in numerous diverse fields is acceptable for budget analyst roles, and therefore the position does not require a degree in a specific specialty as mandated by the statute.
