dismissed H-1B Case: Finance
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small auto detailing business, failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'financial director' position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that while the duties required accounting knowledge, they were not sufficiently complex or specialized to necessitate a bachelor's degree as a minimum requirement, particularly given the nature and scale of the petitioner's business.
