H-1B Remanded — Software Development (2025): while the AAO agreed with the director's denial of the H-1B
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because while the AAO agreed with the director's denial of the H-1B petition due to improper multiple registrations by related entities without a legitimate business need, it found the director's accompanying finding of fraud was not sufficiently articulated. The case was sent back for a new decision to properly address the fraud determination, even though the denial based on an invalid registration was upheld.
