EB-3 Dismissed — Information Technology (2016): the associated labor certification (ETA Form 9089)

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the associated labor certification (ETA Form 9089) contained conflicting information regarding the minimum job requirements. While some sections of the form required a bachelor's degree, another section (H.8) allowed for work experience as an alternative. This conflict meant the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the job requires a minimum of a baccalaureate degree, which is a necessary element for the requested professional worker classification.
