H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2005): did not establish the proffered accountant position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director and the AAO determined that the duties were not complex enough for the petitioner's business, a party supply company, to necessitate a degreed professional, suggesting the role was more akin to a bookkeeping or clerical position.
