dismissed H-1B Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an employment contractor, failed to provide a required itinerary of services listing the dates and locations of the beneficiary's proposed employment at third-party client sites. While the AAO agreed that the petitioner established an employer-employee relationship, the failure to submit the itinerary and prove the existence of a specialty occupation for the duration of the requested period was fatal to the petition.
