H-1B Dismissed — Clothing Retail (2017): did not establish a valid employer-employee relationship

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a valid employer-employee relationship would exist. The Director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not demonstrate it would be able to hire, pay, fire, supervise, or otherwise control the beneficiary's work, which is a core requirement for a U.S. employer under H-1B regulations.
