Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a public school district, failed to establish it qualified for an H-1B cap exemption. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not prove it was a 'related or affiliated nonprofit entity' to an institution of higher education, as it did not demonstrate shared ownership or control by the same board or federation.
