H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2006): did not establish the proffered accountant position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a construction company, failed to establish that the proffered accountant position qualified as a specialty occupation. Although the AAO disagreed with the director's specific reasoning for the denial, it ultimately found that the record did not demonstrate that the duties of the position required a degreed professional in a specific specialty.
Criteria Discussed
Position Normally Requires A Degree Degree Is Common To The Industry Or The Position Is Complex/Unique Employer Normally Requires A Degree Duties Are So Specialized And Complex They Require A Degree
