dismissed H-1B Case: Accounting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an employment staffing company, failed to provide sufficient evidence that the proffered accountant position is a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not submit contracts, work orders, or statements of work from the end-clients that would describe the duties the beneficiary would perform. The AAO found that without evidence of the end-client's requirements, it could not be determined that the work qualified as a specialty occupation.
Criteria Discussed
