Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'staff accountant' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that, based on the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not always the minimum requirement for entry into the occupation, as individuals with associate's degrees or relevant experience can advance to accountant roles.
