dismissed H-1B Case: Accounting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO consulted the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook and determined the described duties were more similar to those of bookkeepers or accounting clerks, positions that do not normally require a bachelor's degree.
