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 the duties described were more consistent with those of a bookkeeper or accounting clerk, which do not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. The small size of the petitioner's business also weighed against the need for a professional accountant, and the petitioner did not satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
