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 under any of the four regulatory criteria. The AAO determined the duties described were more aligned with those of a bookkeeper or clerk, which do not normally require a bachelor's degree, and the petitioner did not prove the position was complex enough to necessitate one.
