H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2017): did not establish the proffered 'project

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'project accountant/manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the record did not show the job duties require an educational background commensurate with a specialty occupation, citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which indicates a bachelor's degree is not a universal minimum requirement for entry into the accounting field.
