H-1B Dismissed — Financial Analysis (2020): did not establish the proffered position of 'e-commerce

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'e-commerce analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the role, citing DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook which suggests the occupation is multidisciplinary. The AAO also found that the job duties lacked sufficient substantive detail to prove they were so specialized and complex as to require a specialty degree.
