H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2016): 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 AAO found the record unpersuasive in demonstrating that the petitioner would sufficiently hire, pay, fire, supervise, or otherwise control the beneficiary's work, which is a core requirement for the H-1B classification.
