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 establish that the proffered part-time accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director and AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate sufficient organizational complexity to require a degreed accountant, and the duties described were more closely related to those of a bookkeeper or clerk, which do not require a bachelor's degree.
