H-1B Dismissed — Accounting: did not establish the proffered budget accountant position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered budget accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director determined the described duties were more aligned with those of a bookkeeping, accounting, or auditing clerk, which does not normally require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner failed to satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria, such as showing a degree is common for the role in the industry or that the duties are uniquely complex.
