Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding the position was for a bookkeeper, not a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, determining that the proffered role was indeed an accountant position. It found that the position qualified as a specialty occupation because, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, a bachelor's degree in accounting is a normal minimum requirement for entry into such a role.
