dismissed H-1B Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the requirements for the H-1B classification. The Director identified three deficiencies: the petitioner did not establish a valid employer-employee relationship, that the position qualifies as a specialty occupation, or that it had a valid Labor Condition Application (LCA). The AAO upheld the denial upon de novo review.
