Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it qualifies for an exemption from the H-1B numerical cap. The petitioner, a nonprofit healthcare facility, did not prove it was sufficiently 'related or affiliated' with an institution of higher education, as the evidence did not show shared ownership or control, nor that it was operated by the university.
