Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined the proffered position qualified as a specialty occupation. While the director disagreed, the AAO found the duties of the 'financial manager' position closely aligned with those of a management accountant. Citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the AAO concluded that a bachelor's degree is the normal minimum requirement for entry into such a position, thus meeting the regulatory criteria.
