Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined the position of Senior Accountant qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director had denied the petition, concluding the duties were more clerical and the petitioner's business did not require a professional accountant. The AAO found that based on the petitioner's size, revenue, and the described duties, the position is consistent with the occupation of an accountant, which normally requires a bachelor's degree, thus meeting a key criterion for a specialty occupation.
