H-1B Dismissed — Technology (2020): did not establish the proffered 'data analyst' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered 'data analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found numerous unresolved inconsistencies in the contractual documents, including a master services agreement with missing pages and conflicting purchase orders showing different work locations (India vs. California) and start dates. These inconsistencies undermined the evidence and failed to establish that the position's duties required a degree in a specific specialty.
