Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'operations research analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not demonstrate that the position requires a degree in a specific specialty, but rather only a general bachelor's degree, which is insufficient. An analysis of the position's duties and information from the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook did not support a finding that a baccalaureate degree in a specific field is a normal minimum requirement for entry.
