Decision Summary
The case was remanded because new USCIS policy guidance was issued regarding H-1B workers at third-party worksites while the appeal was pending. The AAO instructed the Director to re-evaluate the petition under this new guidance and to further address whether the petitioner adequately described the substantive nature of the work, noting inconsistencies and vagueness in the job duties provided compared to the end-client's Statement of Work (SOW).
