H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2006): did not establish the proffered accountant position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. Although the AAO disagreed with the director's rationale that the petitioner's business was not complex enough to require an accountant, it ultimately concluded that the petitioner did not demonstrate that the specific duties of the position required a professional with a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
