dismissed H-1B Case: Accounting

📅 Date unknown 👤 Company 📂 Accounting

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 described duties were more akin to those of a bookkeeping or accounting clerk, a role which does not typically require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to meet any of the four regulatory criteria, such as showing an industry-wide degree requirement or that the duties were uniquely complex.
