H-1B Dismissed — Software Engineering (2022): the Director correctly limited the H-1B petition's validity
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Director correctly limited the H-1B petition's validity period to match the dates on the certified Labor Condition Application (LCA). Regulations require that the petition's validity cannot exceed the LCA's validity period, and the Petitioner's misunderstanding of this requirement was not a basis to overturn the decision.
