dismissed EB-2 Case: Civil Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to submit a certified labor certification from the Department of Labor. The petitioner incorrectly claimed an exception by arguing the position was a 'shortage occupation' under the Labor Market Information Pilot Program, but this program was abolished by Congress before it was ever implemented. The petitioner did not establish eligibility for other exceptions, such as a National Interest Waiver or Schedule A designation.
Criteria Discussed
