Frequently Asked Questions

Common reasons include incomplete documentation, failure to demonstrate the position is a "specialty occupation," wages below prevailing wage requirements, or concerns about the employer-employee relationship, particularly for staffing and consulting companies.

Not necessarily. Even strong sponsors occasionally receive denials. A single denial among hundreds of approvals is not concerning. However, a pattern of denials, especially combined with low wages, may indicate systemic compliance problems.

If denied, the employer can file an appeal or a motion to reopen. You may also be able to maintain status if you have a concurrent valid visa. Consult an immigration attorney to understand your specific options.
