H-1B Dismissed — Accounting: did not establish the proffered accountant position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a chain of fast food restaurants, failed to demonstrate that the proffered accountant position qualified as a specialty occupation. The director and the AAO concluded that the petitioner's business did not require a full-time professional accountant and that the described duties were more aligned with those of a bookkeeper or accounting clerk, which do not normally require a bachelor's degree.
