📅 Date unknown 👤 Company 📂 Accounting

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a sporting goods company, failed to establish that the proffered part-time accountant position qualified as a specialty occupation. The director found that the company lacked the organizational complexity to require a professional accountant and that many of the proposed duties were basic bookkeeping tasks that do not require a bachelor's degree. The AAO concurred, concluding that the petitioner did not meet any of the four regulatory criteria to classify the position as a specialty occupation.
