Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that definitive, non-speculative employment existed for the beneficiary at the time of filing. The petitioner did not provide a complete and valid contractual chain of documents linking it to the end-client, which made it impossible to determine the substantive nature of the proposed work and whether it qualified as a specialty occupation.
