H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2019): did not establish the proffered position of 'accounting

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a dental office, failed to establish that the proffered position of 'accounting specialist/clerk' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is normally the minimum requirement for the position, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which suggests that a high school diploma can be sufficient for such roles.
