Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the job duties more closely aligned with those of a bookkeeping, accounting, or auditing clerk, which does not normally require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate the position's complexity or that a degree is a standard requirement for the role within the industry.
