Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the proffered "staff accountant" position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that many of the described duties, such as coding, reconciling accounts, and maintaining time and attendance, were akin to bookkeeping or clerical functions. The Petitioner did not prove that the position's duties were sufficiently specialized or complex to require the theoretical and practical application of knowledge associated with a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
