H-1B Dismissed — Management Consulting (2020): did not establish the proffered position of 'BI consultant'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a consulting firm, failed to prove the proffered position of 'BI consultant' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence from the end-clients detailing the specific job duties, which prevented an analysis of whether a specialized degree was required. Furthermore, the submitted contracts were for projects that would end before the requested H-1B employment period, indicating the employment was speculative at the time of filing.
