H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2005): did not establish the proffered accountant position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a party supply and rental business, failed to demonstrate that the proffered accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not establish that the duties were sufficiently complex to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field, concluding they more closely resembled those of a bookkeeper or clerk. The petitioner also failed to provide sufficient documentary evidence to support its claims regarding its income, size, and operational complexity.
