dismissed H-1B Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, identified as an employment contractor, failed to provide a required itinerary of services with dates and locations of employment at third-party sites. While the AAO overturned the director's finding on the employer-employee relationship, the lack of an itinerary meant the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a specialty occupation for the duration of the requested period.
