Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding the beneficiary was ineligible for a seventh-year H-1B extension under AC-21 because 365 days had not passed since the labor certification was filed. The AAO determined that the 365-day requirement was met based on when the seventh-year status would actually begin. The case was remanded to adjudicate the remaining issue of whether the position qualifies as a specialty occupation.
