H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2021): 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 record did not describe the position's duties with sufficient and consistent detail, and the petitioner did not prove that the job duties require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. The duties initially appeared clerical, and later descriptions were inconsistent, preventing a determination that the position was sufficiently complex.
