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 petitioner did not provide requested evidence, such as an organizational chart and past hiring practices, leading to doubts about the bona fide nature and complexity of the role. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not demonstrate that the position's duties were specialized enough or that a bachelor's degree was a normal minimum requirement for this specific job within the company.
