Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small supermarket, failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the described duties included tasks more consistent with a bookkeeping or clerical role, which does not require a bachelor's degree, and there was insufficient evidence to show the company's operations warranted a full-time, degree-holding accountant.
