H-1B Remanded — Software Services (2020): the Director's decision was deemed insufficient for review
Decision Summary
The Director's decision was deemed insufficient for review because it did not first determine if the position qualified as a specialty occupation. The case was remanded for reconsideration in light of a recent court decision (Itserve Alliance, Inc. v. Cissna) and new USCIS policy guidance regarding the employer-employee relationship.
