H-1B Dismissed — Accounting: did not establish the proffered accountant position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that many of the position's duties could be performed by accounting clerks or bookkeepers, and the evidence was not persuasive that the position as a whole required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
