dismissed H-1B Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an employment contractor placing the beneficiary at third-party client sites, failed to provide a required itinerary of definite employment. While the AAO disagreed with the director's finding on the employer-employee relationship, the failure to submit the itinerary meant the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary had an actual job offer and was not coming to the U.S. for speculative employment.
