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 the duties were more similar to those of a bookkeeping or accounting clerk, which do not typically require a bachelor's degree, and that the petitioner's business operations were not of sufficient scale or complexity to require a professional accountant.
