H-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2017): did not establish two key points

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an IT consulting firm, failed to establish two key points. The Director concluded, and the AAO agreed upon review, that the petitioner did not demonstrate it would maintain a valid employer-employee relationship with the beneficiary, nor did it prove that the proffered IVR programmer/analyst position qualified as a specialty occupation.
