H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2005): did not establish the beneficiary was qualified to perform
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was qualified to perform the duties of an entry-level accountant. The provided evaluations attempting to equate the beneficiary's work experience to a U.S. bachelor's degree were found to be insufficient and carried little weight. The petitioner did not prove that the evaluators had the specific authority from their universities to grant college-level credit for the beneficiary's work experience in the specialty.
