remanded H-1B Case: Accounting
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding that the proffered accountant position was not a specialty occupation because some duties appeared to be clerical bookkeeping tasks. The AAO disagreed, citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which states a bachelor's degree in accounting is required for an accountant. Based on this evidence, the AAO determined the position qualified as a specialty occupation and remanded the case for a new decision.
