H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2006): did not establish the proffered accountant position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a motel, failed to demonstrate that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director and the AAO concluded that the record did not establish that the duties were complex enough to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, which is a key requirement for the H-1B visa category.
