Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the proffered accountant position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the nature and scope of the petitioner's business (three restaurants, $2.2M income, 100 employees) and the specific duties, including complex financial analysis and tax preparation, required a bachelor's degree in accounting, thereby satisfying the regulatory criteria. The decision also noted the beneficiary was qualified for the position with a master's degree in accounting.
