Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner violated the terms and conditions of the approved H-1B petition by failing to pay the beneficiary the required wage. The petitioner paid a base salary of $26,000 and attempted to count $20,500 in advance royalties to meet the total proffered wage of $46,500. The AAO found that these advance royalty payments did not constitute wages for the specialty occupation, thus upholding the Director's revocation of the petition.
