dismissed EB-2 Case: Software Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director correctly revoked the petition's approval. The petitioner attempted to substitute a new beneficiary onto a labor certification that had already been used by the original beneficiary to adjust their status to a lawful permanent resident. The AAO found that the evidence, specifically the priority dates on the various applications, confirmed the labor certification was already used and could not be reused for the new beneficiary.
