dismissed L-1B Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove it was a qualifying organization covered under its claimed blanket L petition. The petitioner argued that the beneficiary met the reduced six-month foreign employment requirement applicable to blanket petitions, but the submitted Form I-797 approval notice did not include the required list of approved organizations. Without this evidence, the petitioner did not meet its burden of proof to establish eligibility.
