dismissed H-1B Case: Accounting

📅 Date unknown 👤 Company 📂 Accounting

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director and the AAO found that while some duties were related to accounting, many could be performed by accounting clerks or bookkeepers, occupations that do not normally require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner did not persuasively demonstrate that the specific duties were sufficiently specialized or complex to necessitate a degreed professional.
