Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, arguing the proposed accountant position was not a specialty occupation and was more akin to a bookkeeping role. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that evidence of the petitioner's business size, revenue, and the specific job duties were consistent with the professional occupation of an accountant as described in the Occupational Outlook Handbook, thereby meeting at least one criterion for a specialty occupation.
