H-1B Dismissed — Market Research (2006): did not establish the proposed market research analyst

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed market research analyst position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not require a degree in a specific specialty for the position, stating that a Bachelor of Arts with 'any major field of concentration' was sufficient. This failed to meet the regulatory standard that a specialty occupation requires the attainment of a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific specialty.
