Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director and the AAO determined that the duties were more aligned with those of a bookkeeping or auditing clerk, a role which does not typically require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner's business was not considered sufficiently complex to justify a dedicated accountant, and the evidence submitted did not prove a degree was a common requirement for similar positions in the industry.
