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. The AAO found that the petitioner did not meet the criterion requiring a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty as a normal minimum for entry, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which states that degrees in various fields, including non-specialty degrees like business or liberal arts, are common for such positions.
