H-1B Dismissed — Payments Technology (2020): did not establish the proffered 'credit operations analyst'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'credit operations analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate that the role requires a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, as the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook indicated the occupation is multidisciplinary and accepts degrees from various fields without identifying a single required discipline.
Criteria Discussed
