H-1B Dismissed — Healthcare (2006): did not establish the proffered position of management
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of management analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. While the AAO disagreed with the director's finding that the company's size or type of business precluded it from hiring a management analyst, it ultimately concluded that the petitioner had not provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the specific duties of the position were complex enough to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
