H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2016): did not establish the proffered 'staff accountant' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'staff accountant' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner provided inconsistent information and job duties after an RFE, and the record did not establish that the duties are so specialized and complex that they require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
