H-1B Sustained — Business Analysis (2020): the record established by a preponderance of the evidence

Decision Summary

The appeal was sustained because the record established by a preponderance of the evidence that the proffered 'business analyst' position requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field like industrial or systems engineering. The AAO found an advisory opinion and the petitioner's letter persuasive in detailing the specialized duties and the necessity of a specific degree, thus qualifying the position as a specialty occupation.
