H-1B Dismissed — Accounting: did not establish the proffered part-time accountant
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small residential care facility, failed to demonstrate that the proffered part-time accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not establish sufficient organizational complexity to warrant a professional accountant and that the described duties were more closely related to those of a bookkeeper or clerk, which do not necessarily require a bachelor's degree.
