Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it was exempt from the H-1B numerical cap. The petitioner claimed to be a 'nonprofit research organization' but did not submit sufficient evidence to prove it was 'primarily engaged in basic research and/or applied research' as required by regulation. The petitioner did not document what portion of its time and resources were dedicated to research versus its other community and mediation services.
