DISCUSSION: The preference visa petition was denied by the Director, Nebraska Service Center, and is
now before the Administrative Appeals Ofice on appeal. The appeal will be dismissed.
The petitioner is a software-consulting corporation. It seeks to employ the beneficiary permanently in the
United States as a programmer analyst. As required by statute, the petition is accompanied by a Form ETA
750, Application for Alien Employment Certification, approved by the U. S. Department of Labor. The
director determined that the petitioner had not established that it had the continuing ability to pay the
beneficiary the proffered wage beginning on the priority date of the visa petition. The director denied the
petition accordingly.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) has learned that the U.S. Department of Labor has, as the
result of its investigation, made a finding that the petitioner has failed to follow requirements set forth at
Section 212(n)(l) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) andlor misrepresented a material fact as part
of an application before the U. S. Department of Labor. Therefore, pursuant to Section 212(n)(2)(C)(ii) of the
Act, immigrant and nonimmigrant petitions shall not be approved with respect to the named employer, in this
case, the petitioner.
The U. S. Department of Labor has informed CIS that the prohibition of the approval of the petitions from the
petitioner will last from August 1, 2005 until July 3 1, 2007. Therefore, CIS is precluded from approving the
instant petition. Section 291 of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 5 1361.
