H-1B Dismissed — Systems Analysis (2016): did not establish the proffered systems analyst position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a restaurant, failed to establish that the proffered systems analyst position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not prove that the position's duties are so complex or specialized that they necessitate a bachelor's degree in a specific field as a minimum entry requirement. The AAO also noted it would address the issue of whether a valid employer-employee relationship was established.
