Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO determined the proffered 'budget accountant' position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO compared the job duties to the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook and found they were more consistent with a bookkeeper or accounting clerk, positions that do not normally require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner failed to establish that the duties were sufficiently complex or specialized to necessitate a degree in a specific field.
