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

Specialty Occupation Definition (Ina § 214(I)(1)) Normal Degree Requirement (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(1)) Common Industry Degree Requirement / Unique Position (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(2)) Employer'S Normal Degree Requirement (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(3)) Specialized And Complex Duties (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(4))
