sustained H-1B Case: Accounting
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, finding that the petitioner failed to establish the proffered 'Assistant Controller' position as a specialty occupation. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided additional evidence, including a supplemental letter from a Certified Public Accountant, which sufficiently established that the position's duties and complexity required at least a bachelor's degree in accounting, thus meeting the specialty occupation criterion.
