The RIBS Integrations letter contradicts information on the ETA 750B; the second employment letter fails to describe duties; H-1B letters are prospective only; and the beneficiary's affidavit is self-serving. Regulations require employer letters with name, address, title, and specific duty descriptions, none of which were adequately provided.
