Decision Summary

The director's denial was based on alleged wage violations, document alteration, and misrepresentation of the petitioner as a staffing agency. The AAO overturned these findings, stating that wage violations are for the Department of Labor to investigate, the petitioner reasonably explained the contract modification, and submitted proof of its license as a home healthcare agency. The AAO then found the position of physical therapist qualifies as a specialty occupation, warranting approval.
