H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2020): did not establish the proffered 'business analyst' position

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 the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation, citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which indicates a wide variety of degrees, including liberal arts, could be suitable.
