dismissed EB-2 Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary possessed the minimum experience required by the labor certification prior to the petition's priority date. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence did not establish the beneficiary had the required five years of progressive experience and two years of experience in the job offered before the filing date. Some experience letters documented work performed after the priority date, and others lacked a specific description of duties, making them insufficient proof of qualifying experience.
