H-1B Dismissed โ Information Technology (2019): did not establish a valid employer-employee relationship
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a valid employer-employee relationship with the beneficiary for the requested period. The submitted contractual documents were inconsistent, did not cover the full employment period, and failed to sufficiently demonstrate how the petitioner would supervise and control the beneficiary's work at an off-site, end-client location.
