Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, finding that the proffered accountant position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The director reasoned that the petitioner's business was not sufficiently large or complex to require a professional accountant and that the duties were more akin to those of a bookkeeper. The AAO disagreed with this assessment, overturned the decision, and sustained the appeal, approving the petition.
