dismissed H-1B Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition for failing to establish that it qualifies as the beneficiary's U.S. employer and that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. While the AAO found that the petitioner did establish an employer-employee relationship, the appeal was ultimately dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the position of systems administrator met the regulatory criteria to be considered a specialty occupation.
