Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'business analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that requiring a generalized degree, such as business administration, is insufficient as a specialty occupation requires a degree in a specific field directly related to the duties. Furthermore, the evidence provided, including from the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook, did not prove that a degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the position.
