dismissed H-1B Case: Accounting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to file a certified Labor Condition Application (LCA) at the time it filed the H-1B extension petition. The previously certified LCA had expired, and a new LCA submitted on appeal was certified after the petition's filing date, therefore not satisfying regulatory requirements.
