H-1B Dismissed — Semiconductor Development (2020): did not establish the proffered position of 'supply chain

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'supply chain business systems analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not prove that a baccalaureate degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the position, as its reliance on the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook and O*NET was deemed insufficient. The petitioner also inconsistently defined the required academic fields for the position, which weakened its argument.
