Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that while the job required some accounting knowledge, the petitioner did not prove that the duties were sufficiently complex to necessitate a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, distinguishing it from lower-level bookkeeping or clerical roles that do not meet H-1B standards.
