dismissed H-1B Case: Management Analysis
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small job placement agency, failed to establish that the proffered 'management analyst' position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the described duties were too general, lacked specificity to the petitioner's business, and did not rise to the level of complexity normally associated with a management analyst, thereby failing to meet any of the four regulatory criteria.
