Decision Summary
The director denied the petition on the basis that the proffered accountant position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the nature of the petitioner's business and the detailed duties were sufficiently complex to require the services of a professional accountant. Citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook, the AAO determined the position normally requires a bachelor's degree, satisfying the regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
