H-1B Dismissed — Software Consulting (2015): did not establish it would have a valid employer-employee

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it would have a valid employer-employee relationship with the beneficiary, who was to work at an off-site location. The AAO also found that, beyond the Director's initial reason for denial, the petitioner did not establish that the proffered 'Programmer Analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation.
