H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2007): did not establish the proffered position of 'division

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'division accountant' qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the described duties were more aligned with those of a bookkeeping, accounting, or auditing clerk, a role which does not normally require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner did not prove that the position was uniquely complex or that a degree was a standard industry requirement for similar roles.
