H-1B Dismissed — Management Analysis (2024): the proffered position did not qualify as a specialty
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the proffered position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The petitioner's minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree in business administration or a 'closely related quantitative field' was deemed too broad and not a degree in a 'specific specialty.' The AAO concluded that such a general degree does not provide the body of highly specialized knowledge required by statute.
Criteria Discussed
Specialty Occupation Definition Normal Degree Requirement For The Position Degree Requirement Common To The Industry Employer'S Normal Degree Requirement Specialized And Complex Duties
