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 AAO concluded that while the job duties required some knowledge of accounting principles, they did not reflect the scope or complexity of a professional accountant position that would normally require a bachelor's degree, particularly within the context of the petitioner's small specialty food business.
