Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, concluding the proffered accountant position was not a specialty occupation and more closely resembled the work of a bookkeeper, arguing the petitioner's business was not complex enough to require a degreed professional. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the evidence, including the company's gross receipts and the nature of its international freight forwarding services, demonstrated that the proposed duties were those of a professional accountant, which meets the specialty occupation criterion of normally requiring a bachelor's degree.
