Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a law office, failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concurred with the director's finding that the position's duties were more consistent with those of a bookkeeper, an occupation that does not require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner did not demonstrate that the specific duties were sufficiently specialized or complex to necessitate a degree, thus failing to meet any of the regulatory criteria.
