Decision Summary

The Director denied the entire H-1B petition after concluding the Beneficiary had abandoned the request for a change of status by traveling outside the U.S. The AAO remanded the case because the Director failed to issue a decision on the separate, underlying merits of the H-1B petition itself, specifically whether the offered position qualifies as a specialty occupation.
