H-1B Remanded — Software Engineering (2020): the appeal was remanded following a federal court decision
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded following a federal court decision (Itserve Alliance, Inc. v. Cissna) and a subsequent USCIS policy memorandum that rescinded prior guidance on the employer-employee relationship. Because the case was affected by this new policy, the AAO sent it back to the Director to reconsider the matter and issue a new decision.
