dismissed EB-2 Case: Architecture
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an individual, filed the petition on his own behalf for a classification that requires a U.S. employer. The director noted, and the AAO agreed, that the petition was also properly denied because it was not accompanied by a required labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor.
