sustained H-1B Case: Computer Software
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained after a motion to reopen and reconsider. The AAO withdrew its prior decision, finding that a labor certification application filed on behalf of the beneficiary had been pending for the required duration when the petition was filed. This made the beneficiary eligible for a seventh-year extension of H-1B status.
