Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO disagreed with the director's finding that the position was a bookkeeper rather than an accountant. The AAO found that the accountant position is a specialty occupation, citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook which indicates a bachelor's degree is the normal minimum requirement. Additionally, an evaluation established that the beneficiary's foreign degree and experience were equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree in accounting, proving the beneficiary was qualified.
