H-1B Dismissed โ Business Administration (2022): the Director denied the petition on two independent
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Director denied the petition on two independent grounds, and the petitioner failed to adequately address one of these grounds on appeal. Specifically, the petitioner did not explain how the Director erred in finding the position did not meet the regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation. Since an appellant must successfully challenge all grounds for denial, the failure to do so was fatal to the appeal.
Criteria Discussed
