sustained H-1B Case: Moving And Storage
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding that the petitioner's business did not require a financial analyst. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the director misclassified the position. The AAO determined the role was more accurately described as a financial manager or finance officer, and that the petitioner's evidence of business expansion and revenue justified the need for such a complex position, qualifying it as a specialty occupation.
