H-1B Dismissed — Software Consulting: did not establish the proposed position of market research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed position of market research analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. Although the AAO disagreed with some of the director's secondary findings, it ultimately concluded that the petitioner did not prove the position met any of the four regulatory criteria, such as requiring a specific bachelor's degree for entry.
