remanded H-1B Case: Accounting
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, arguing the cost accountant role was not a specialty occupation. The AAO found that accountant positions generally do require a bachelor's degree, thus meeting a key criterion. However, the case was remanded because the director had not yet determined if the beneficiary was qualified and because there were unresolved inconsistencies in the beneficiary's birth date across different documents.
