H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2016): did not establish the substantive nature of the work to be

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a consulting firm, failed to establish the substantive nature of the work to be performed. The petitioner's contracts allowed for the beneficiary's duties to be changed and dictated by the end-client, but the petitioner did not provide specific documentation, such as a statement of work, from the end-client detailing the actual job duties. This lack of evidence prevented a determination that the position qualified as a specialty occupation.
