H-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2016): the petitioner provided inconsistent and unreliable
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner provided inconsistent and unreliable evidence regarding the in-house projects the beneficiary was intended to work on. Specifically, the submitted project charters did not list the proffered 'data modeler' position, contained contradictory information about staffing, and had budgets that appeared inadequate for the described scope, casting doubt on the legitimacy of the specialty occupation position.
