dismissed H-1B Case: Accounting

📅 Date unknown 👤 Company 📂 Accounting

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'accountant/accounting clerk director' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the described duties were more aligned with those of a bookkeeper or accounting clerk, which do not normally require a bachelor's degree. The duties were found to be generic and not sufficiently complex to necessitate the theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge associated with a specialty occupation.
