remanded H-1B Case: Accounting
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding the proffered accountant role was not a specialty occupation because it included bookkeeping duties. The AAO disagreed, finding that the evidence, including the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, establishes that an accountant position normally requires a bachelor's degree. Therefore, the AAO determined the position is a specialty occupation and remanded the case for a new decision.
