H-1B Dismissed — Software (2015): the petitioner failed to overcome the director's grounds

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to overcome the director's grounds for denial. The petitioner did not establish that a valid employer-employee relationship would exist, a key issue since the beneficiary was to work off-site. Additionally, the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of 'programmer analyst' qualified as a specialty occupation.
