Decision Summary
The director denied the petition by classifying the proffered position as a bookkeeping or auditing clerk, which does not require a bachelor's degree. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates most accountant positions do require at least a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field. As the beneficiary holds an equivalent degree, the AAO concluded the position is a specialty occupation.
