H-1B Dismissed — Systems Analysis (2005): did not establish the proffered 'systems analyst' position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'systems analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO, citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook, found that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not a universal requirement for the occupation. The petitioner's evidence, including job listings and letters from other companies, was deemed insufficient to prove a specific degree is an industry standard for parallel positions.
