dismissed EB-3 Case: Commercial Cleaning
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary did not meet all job requirements listed on the labor certification by the priority date. The petitioner argued that the required drug screening was a customary pre-employment practice, not a formal job requirement, but the AAO found that since it was listed on the labor certification, it must be satisfied by the priority date.
