Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proposed 'budget accountant' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. Although accountant positions generally qualify, the AAO determined that the specific duties described were more consistent with those of a bookkeeper or accounting clerk, which do not typically require a bachelor's degree. The decision emphasized looking beyond the job title to the actual duties in the context of the petitioner's small business.
