H-1B Dismissed — Accounting: did not establish the proffered accountant position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a used car dealer, failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the position's duties were not sufficiently complex for a small business of its size and scope, aligning more with the role of a bookkeeper, which does not typically require a bachelor's degree.
