H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2015): 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. The evidence of record did not demonstrate that the petitioner would maintain the right to hire, pay, fire, supervise, or otherwise control the beneficiary's work, a necessary element to be considered a 'United States employer' for H-1B purposes.
