Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition because the proffered accountant position was not deemed a specialty occupation. After an initial dismissal by the AAO and the filing of a lawsuit by the beneficiary, the AAO reopened the case on its own motion. Upon review, the AAO found the position's duties consistent with those of a management accountant, which requires a degree, and therefore concluded the position qualifies as a specialty occupation, withdrawing its prior decision and approving the petition.
