Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed accountant position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the described duties were more aligned with those of a bookkeeper or accounting clerk, and did not demonstrate the complexity necessary to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field as a minimum entry requirement.
