Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the initial petition approval was found to involve gross error. The beneficiary was not eligible for the H-1B master's cap exemption because their U.S. master's degree was from an unaccredited institution. The AAO affirmed the revocation and rejected the petitioner's argument of equitable estoppel, stating it lacks the authority to apply such a doctrine.
