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 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.
