H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2015): did not establish a valid employer-employee relationship

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a valid employer-employee relationship would exist with the beneficiary. The Director's denial, which the AAO upheld, focused on the petitioner's failure to demonstrate it would hire, pay, fire, supervise, or otherwise control the beneficiary's work, as required by regulation, especially given the off-site nature of the proposed employment.
