Dismissed H-1B

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

📅 2006-08-28 👤 Company 📂 Accounting

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proposed accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not submit sufficient supporting evidence—such as information on the volume of transactions, complexity of financial statements, or previous financial documents—to demonstrate that the duties were complex enough to require a bachelor's degree in accounting.
