Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered accountant/auditor position qualified as a specialty occupation. Although the AAO disagreed with the director's specific reasoning that the company's business type and scale did not require an accountant, it ultimately found that the record did not demonstrate that the proposed duties required a degreed professional.
Criteria Discussed
