EB-3 Dismissed — Shipping Management (2017): the appeal was dismissed as moot
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed as moot. The Director initially denied the petition for a professional worker because the labor certification did not require a baccalaureate degree and the beneficiary did not possess one. The petitioner then filed a new petition for the same beneficiary as a skilled worker, which was approved, rendering the appeal of the first denial moot.
