Decision Summary

The appeal was remanded because the Director incorrectly denied the H-1B petition based on the Beneficiary's failure to maintain F-1 status. The AAO found that the Director conflated two separate issues: the H-1B petition's merits (e.g., specialty occupation) and the Beneficiary's eligibility for a change of status. The case was sent back for a new decision to be made on the merits of the H-1B classification itself.
