Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner's requirement for a bachelor's degree in a wide range of disparate fields (accounting, business administration, economics, finance, mathematics) was deemed too general. The AAO found that the petitioner did not establish how each field was directly related to the duties of the position, thereby failing to meet the statutory requirement for a degree in a 'specific specialty.'
