H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2006): did not establish the proffered accountant position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the described duties were more aligned with a bookkeeper or accounting clerk position, which does not necessarily require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner did not provide specific evidence showing the complexity of the duties or business operations to prove that a degree in a specific specialty was the minimum requirement for the role.
