dismissed H-1B Case: Law
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner materially changed the job duties of the proposed position after the petition was filed, which is not permissible. The petitioner initially described duties that involved rendering legal opinions, but later amended them to internal advising to avoid state licensing requirements. The director also found that under the original duties, the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary possessed the required licensure to perform the job.
