P-1 Dismissed — Cultural Education (2011): did not establish it was the beneficiary's U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a public elementary school, failed to establish that it was the beneficiary's U.S. employer or a qualifying U.S. agent. The director's decision was based on a letter submitted by the school district which explicitly stated that the beneficiary was not a hired employee, thereby making the petitioner ineligible to file the petition.
Criteria Discussed
