H-1B Dismissed — Computer Services (2015): the petitioner sought an exemption from the H-1B numerical

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner sought an exemption from the H-1B numerical cap based on the beneficiary holding a U.S. master's degree. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the beneficiary's degree was from a private, for-profit institution. Under the Higher Education Act, an institution must be public or non-profit to qualify for this exemption, therefore the beneficiary was not eligible for the master's cap.
