H-1B Dismissed — Accounting: did not establish the proffered accountant position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small used car dealership, failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined the proposed duties were not sufficiently complex or specialized to require a bachelor's degree, aligning more with the work of a bookkeeper or accounting clerk rather than a professional accountant.
Criteria Discussed
Normal Degree Requirement For Position Degree Requirement Common To Industry Complexity Or Uniqueness Of The Position Specialized And Complex Nature Of Duties
