Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding the position's duties were those of a bookkeeping or auditing clerk, which do not require a degree, and that the petitioner's business was not complex enough to require a professional accountant. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the proffered position did qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO implicitly agreed with the petitioner that the duties, including job costing, financial analysis, and budgeting for a large-scale property management and renovation operation, were sufficiently complex to require a degree.
