Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate it qualifies for an H-1B cap exemption as a 'nonprofit research organization'. Although the petitioner engages in some research, the evidence, including its tax forms and NAICS code, showed its primary activity is providing health information technology services, not being primarily engaged in basic or applied research.
