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

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'technical analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. Relying on the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the AAO determined that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for entry, as degrees in various fields like computer science, business, or liberal arts are considered acceptable for such roles.
