H-1B Remanded — Accounting (2005): the AAO reopened the matter after the petitioner filed a
Decision Summary
The AAO reopened the matter after the petitioner filed a complaint in U.S. District Court. The case was previously dismissed because the description of the accountant position was deemed too generic, resembling that of a bookkeeper rather than a specialty occupation requiring a degree. The AAO is now requesting more specific evidence regarding the complexity of the job duties, the petitioner's hiring history, and the standard degree requirements within the freight industry to properly adjudicate the case.
