H-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2017): the petitioner filed two H-1B petitions for the same

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner filed two H-1B petitions for the same beneficiary in the same fiscal year, in violation of regulations. Although the petitioner claimed this was a clerical error and that one petition was intended for a different individual, the record showed that both Form I-129s officially submitted to USCIS named the same beneficiary, which mandates the denial or revocation of all such petitions.
