๐Ÿ“… 2017-12-20 ๐Ÿ‘ค Company ๐Ÿ“‚ Software Development

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish the existence of a genuine in-house project. The submitted project documentation contained numerous inconsistencies and appeared to be copied from another company's internal materials, which undermined the petitioner's credibility. Consequently, the Petitioner did not prove that non-speculative, specialty occupation work was available for the Beneficiary for the requested employment period.

Criteria Discussed
