H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2016): the petitioner provided misleading and contradictory

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner provided misleading and contradictory information that undermined its claims about the proffered position. The petitioner stated the work was 100% in-house but then submitted client contracts, and shared an address with the client, which cast doubt on the nature, scope, and location of the beneficiary's employment. These discrepancies prevented the petitioner from establishing that the proposed software engineer position qualified as a specialty occupation.
