H-1B Dismissed — It Services (2022): did not establish the beneficiary's U.S

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary's U.S. master's degree was from a qualifying 'United States institution of higher education' for the purposes of the master's cap exemption. The university was a for-profit entity, failing the 'public or other nonprofit institution' requirement. Furthermore, its accrediting agency's recognition had been terminated by the U.S. Department of Education, failing the accreditation requirement.
