EB-3 Dismissed — Nursing (2019): the petitioner's notice of filing for labor certification
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's notice of filing for labor certification failed to provide the physical address of the appropriate Department of Labor (DOL) certifying officer, as required by regulation. Although the petitioner modeled its notice on a USCIS/DOL sample that provided a website URL, the AAO determined that the explicit regulatory requirement to list the physical address is controlling over agency guidance.
Criteria Discussed
Labor Certification Notice Of Filing Schedule A Occupations 20 C.F.R. § 656.10(D)
