H-1B Dismissed — Information Security (2020): the petitioner provided inconsistent information regarding
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner provided inconsistent information regarding the minimum educational and experience requirements for the Information Security Business Analyst position. The petitioner's requirements differed from the end-client's job posting, which listed only experience and no degree, undermining the claim that a specific bachelor's degree is required. Furthermore, the end-client's extensive experience requirements contradicted the Level II wage selected on the Labor Condition Application (LCA), which suggests a lower level of experience.
