H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2016): did not establish the proffered 'project manager' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not demonstrate that the proffered 'project manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the record lacked sufficient documentation, such as the master services agreement and supplier agreement between the various parties, to substantiate the contractual terms and prove that H-1B caliber work was actually available for the beneficiary at the end client's location.
