H-1B Approved after Denial

Our office was retained to process an H-1 Change of Status petition for a Quality Assurance Engineer working on a turnkey project owned by a middle vendor at a client location.  We explained to USCIS that the end-client was infact the vendor, who “owned” the project.  USCIS denied the petition, holdingthat we had failed to obtain proper documentation from the end-client.  We filed an MTR with extensive arguments and evidence that the petitioner was the actual employer of the beneficiary and that the vendor, not the end-client, owned the project. 

USCIS accepted our arguments and approved the petition and the attached I-94.
