H-1B Dismissed — It Consulting (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 Director initially denied the petition for this reason, and the AAO, upon review, concluded that the record was not persuasive in demonstrating that the petitioner would sufficiently hire, pay, fire, supervise, or otherwise control the beneficiary's work as required by regulations.
