H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2006): did not establish the proposed accountant position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a bathroom and kitchen remodeling company, failed to establish that the proposed accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's business did not have the organizational complexity or scale to require the services of a professional accountant, and that the duties could be performed by someone without a bachelor's degree. The petitioner did not satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
