dismissed H-1B Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an employment contractor, failed to submit a required itinerary detailing the dates and locations of the beneficiary's employment at third-party client sites. While the AAO found that the petitioner did qualify as an 'employer', the lack of an itinerary meant the petitioner did not establish the existence of a specialty occupation for the entire requested period.
