Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a software development and IT consulting firm, failed to establish that it would have a valid employer-employee relationship with the beneficiary. The Director initially denied the petition on this basis and also found that the petitioner did not establish the position qualified as a specialty occupation; the AAO's de novo review affirmed the denial.
