PETITION: FORM 1-129. PETITION FOR NONIMMIGRANT WORKER 
The Petitioner, a computer services company. seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary as a 
''software engineer'' under the H-1 B nonimmigrant classification for specialty occupations. See 
Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) ยง 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b). 8 U.S.C. ยง 1101(a)(l5)(H)(i)(b). 
The H-1B program allows a U.S. employer to temporarily employ a qualified foreign worker in a 
position that requires both (a) the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized 
knowledge and (b) the attainment of a bachelor's or higher degree in the specific specialty (or its

provide a brief or additional evidence in support of the appeal despite indicating on the Form I-290B 
that it intended do so. Moreover, the Petitioner did not provide with its appeal a separate statement 
regarding the basis of the appeal. as instructed at Part 4 of the Form 1-2908. 1 A petitioner filing an 
appeal is required to provide a statement that specifically identifies an erroneous conclusion of law
