dismissed EB-3 Case: Nursing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's labor certification required a bachelor's degree, but the corresponding prevailing wage determination (PWD) was for a position requiring only an associate's degree. The petitioner claimed this was a typographical error, but federal regulations prohibit any modifications to a labor certification after it has been filed, making the discrepancy fatal to the petition.
