H-1B Dismissed — Market Research (2020): did not establish the proffered position of 'customer
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'customer insights analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Director initially denied the petition on these grounds, and the AAO, upon de novo review, affirmed the decision, finding the evidence insufficient to prove the role requires a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty as a minimum entry requirement.
Criteria Discussed
