Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a U.S. government agency, is not a qualifying employer under the statute for this visa classification. The law requires the employer to be a university, an institution of higher education, or a private employer. The AAO concluded that a government entity fits none of these categories and is therefore statutorily ineligible to file the petition.
