H-1B Dismissed — It Consulting (2016): did not establish the proffered 'business analyst' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'business analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner, a consulting firm, did not provide sufficient evidence from the end-client, such as contractual agreements or a detailed description of duties, to prove the work was complex enough to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
