remanded H-1B Case: Information Technology

Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
MATTER OF A-S-R-, INC. DATE: MAY 20,2016 
APPEAL OF VERMONT SERVICE CENTER DECISION 
PETITION: FORM I-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER 
The Petitioner, an information technology company, seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary as 
a "computer programmer" under the H-1 B nonimmigrant classification for specialty occupation. See 
Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 101(a)(l5)(H)(i)(b), 8 U.S.C. 
§ 1101(a)(l5)(H)(i)(b). The H-18 program allows a U.S. employer to temporarily employ a 
qualified foreign worker in a position that requires both (a) the theoretical and practical application 
of a body of highly specialized knowledge and (b) the attainrhent of a bachelor's or higher degree in 
the specific specialty (or its equivalent) as a minimum prerequisite for entry into the position. 
The Director, Vermont Service Center, denied the petition. The Director concluded that the 
evidence of record did not establish that the Petitioner had specialty occupation work available for the 
Beneficiary at the time of filing of the petition. 
The matter is now before us on appeal. In its appeal, the Petitioner submits additional evidence and 
claims that this documentation was issued prior to the filing of the petition, but that it was revised to 
reflect certain changes. The Director has not had an opportunity to review the new evidence submitted 
on appeal. Therefore, the matter will be remanded to the Director for further review. 
ORDER: The decision of the Director, Vermont Service Center, is withdrawn. The matter is 
remanded to the Director, Vermont Service Center, for further proceedings consistent 
with the foregoing opinion and for the entry of a new decision.
