Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO found that the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed position qualifies as a specialty occupation. Although the position was titled 'accountant,' the AAO concluded that the described duties were more consistent with those of a bookkeeping or accounting clerk, an occupation that does not typically require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
