H-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2015): did not establish the proffered 'business analyst' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'business analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO agreed with the director's finding that the evidence did not prove that the position requires the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge, or that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the minimum requirement for entry.
