H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2016): the Director denied the petition because the petitioner

Decision Summary

The Director denied the petition because the petitioner failed to establish two key points: that a valid employer-employee relationship would exist, and that the proposed position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the Director's findings and focusing on the lack of evidence to prove the petitioner would sufficiently hire, pay, fire, supervise, or otherwise control the beneficiary's work.
