H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2015): did not establish its proffered 'Accountant' position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small retail gasoline and convenience store, failed to establish that its proffered 'Accountant' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate that the duties of the position were sufficiently complex to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field, especially given the small size and nature of the business.
