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 not sufficiently complex to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, and the petitioner failed to satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria. Inconsistencies in the record regarding the beneficiary's actual duties also weakened the petitioner's case.
