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

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'QA analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not demonstrate that the position requires a degree in a specific specialty, allowing for a wide range of disparate fields such as computer, engineering, business, or finance without justification. Furthermore, the petitioner failed to satisfy at least one of the four regulatory criteria to prove the position's substantive nature as a specialty occupation.
