Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a physician's office, failed to establish it qualified for an exemption from the H-1B numerical cap for Fiscal Year 2014. The petitioner claimed to be a nonprofit entity affiliated with an institution of higher education but did not provide sufficient evidence to support this claim. Since the petition was filed after the H-1B cap was reached, and the petitioner was not found to be cap-exempt, the denial was upheld.
