remanded H-1B Case: Accounting
Decision Summary
The director's decision was withdrawn because the AAO determined that the proffered position of budget accountant is a specialty occupation, contrary to the director's finding. However, the petition was remanded for a new decision because the record lacked evidence to establish that the beneficiary was qualified to perform the duties of the specialty occupation, as no proof of a relevant U.S. degree or a foreign equivalent was submitted.
Criteria Discussed
Specialty Occupation Requirements (8 C.F.R. 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)) Beneficiary Qualifications For Specialty Occupation (8 C.F.R. 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(C)) Degree Equivalency Based On Education And Experience (8 C.F.R. 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(D))
