H-1B Dismissed — Education (2016): did not establish it had secured a non-speculative position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate it had secured a non-speculative position for the beneficiary at a specific school system. The evidence submitted was either outdated, did not name the beneficiary, or indicated that work was only on an "as-needed" basis. Because the substantive nature of the work was not established, the AAO concluded that the petitioner could not prove the position qualified as a specialty occupation under any criterion.
