H-1B Dismissed — Unknown (2015): the petitioner incorrectly claimed the beneficiary was
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner incorrectly claimed the beneficiary was eligible for the H-1B Master's Cap exemption. The beneficiary's degree was from a for-profit institution, which does not meet the statutory definition of a 'U.S. institution of higher education' for this exemption. This inaccurate statement led to an erroneous approval, and the AAO upheld the director's decision to revoke the petition.
