Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the proffered part-time accountant position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO referenced the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which indicates that not all accountant positions require a bachelor's degree, particularly entry-level ones. The petitioner's designation of the position at a Level I wage further supported the conclusion that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty was not a minimum requirement for this particular job.
