Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a school system, failed to prove it qualified for an exemption from the H-1B numerical cap. The petitioner claimed to be a nonprofit entity 'related or affiliated' with a university, but the AAO found their contractual agreement for student field experience did not establish the necessary shared ownership, control, or operational integration to meet the legal definition.
Criteria Discussed
