Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary did not qualify for the H-1B Master's Cap exemption. The university that awarded the beneficiary's master's degree was not accredited at the time the degree was conferred, meaning it did not meet the statutory definition of a 'United States institution of higher education.' Since the beneficiary was not exempt from the numerical cap and the cap had been reached, the petition was properly denied.
