Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. While the AAO withdrew the director's reasoning that the petitioner's business was not complex enough to need an accountant, the AAO ultimately found that the petitioner did not demonstrate the position itself required a professional with a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
