H-1B Dismissed — Data Engineering (2017): the beneficiary was found ineligible for the H-1B Master's

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary was found ineligible for the H-1B Master's Cap exemption. The beneficiary's U.S. master's degree was from an unaccredited institution, and the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary had previously been counted against the regular H-1B cap. Since the petition was filed after the annual cap for that fiscal year was reached, no visa number was available.
