Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'budget accountant' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not prove that the position's duties actually require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, which is a fundamental requirement for the H-1B classification. The decision noted that the described duties were not shown to be sufficiently complex and that standard industry references, like the Occupational Outlook Handbook, did not support the petitioner's claim.
