Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of accountant/financial analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the described duties were more aligned with those of an advanced bookkeeper or accounting clerk, which does not normally require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner did not prove that the position's duties were sufficiently complex or specialized to necessitate a degree, as required by regulation.
