Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small law office, failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the described duties were more aligned with those of a bookkeeper, an occupation that does not normally require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner did not successfully argue that the position was so complex or unique as to necessitate a degree-holding individual under any of the regulatory criteria.
