Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director approved the H-1B petition for a shorter validity period than requested without providing a clear calculation or rationale. The AAO found that the Director failed to 'show his or her work,' which prevented the Petitioner from meaningfully challenging the decision on appeal. The case was sent back for the Director to properly consider the evidence, explain their calculations, and issue a new decision.
