sustained EB-3 Case: Nursing
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the Director incorrectly denied the petition for lacking a bona fide job opportunity open to U.S. workers. The AAO clarified that as a 'Schedule A' occupation for a professional nurse, the Department of Labor has already determined a shortage of U.S. workers, and the petitioner is therefore exempt from testing the labor market before filing.
