remanded H-1B Case: Accounting
Decision Summary
The AAO reopened the case following a federal lawsuit and issued a request for evidence. The previous denial and appeal dismissal were based on the finding that the petitioner's generic description of the accountant role failed to establish it as a specialty occupation requiring a bachelor's degree. The AAO is now requesting specific evidence on the complexity of the duties, industry hiring norms, and the petitioner's own hiring history before issuing a new decision.
