H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2017): did not establish the proffered 'systems analyst' position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'systems analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The decision referenced the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which states that while a bachelor's degree in a computer field is common for systems analysts, it is not always a requirement, thus undermining the claim that the position normally requires a specific degree.
