H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2005): did not establish the proffered accountant position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the described duties were more aligned with those of a bookkeeper or accounting clerk, positions which do not normally require a bachelor's degree, and did not demonstrate the complexity of a professional accountant role.
