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

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a beer and wine importer, failed to establish that the proffered market research analyst position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty was the actual minimum requirement for this particular job, that the degree requirement was common for similar positions in the industry, or that the duties were sufficiently specialized and complex.
