H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2016): the appeal was dismissed primarily due to a procedural

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed primarily due to a procedural error: the petitioner failed to sign the section of the Form I-129 certifying liability for the reasonable costs of return transportation for the beneficiary. Although this improper filing was sufficient for denial, the AAO also affirmed the Director's original findings that the petitioner did not establish that the proffered accountant position qualified as a specialty occupation or that it was paying the required prevailing wage.
