dismissed EB-3 Case: Nursing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was qualified for the position on the filing date of the petition. Specifically, the record contained no evidence that, as of the priority date, the beneficiary had passed the CGFNS or NCLEX-RN examinations or held a full and unrestricted license to practice nursing in California. Qualifications obtained after the filing date cannot be used to establish eligibility.
