Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'staff accountant' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the required degree in business administration was too general and not in a specific specialty directly related to the role. Additionally, the petitioner did not provide a sufficiently detailed description of the duties to establish that the position required the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge.
