H-1B Dismissed — Management Analysis (2020): did not establish the proffered 'management analyst'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'management analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates a wide range of acceptable degrees for this occupation, meaning a degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement. An expert opinion letter submitted by the petitioner was also deemed unpersuasive as it did not substantively discuss the specific duties in the context of the petitioner's business.
