Decision Summary
The motions to reopen and reconsider were denied because the petitioner failed to submit a certified Labor Condition Application (LCA) at the time of the initial H-1B petition filing. The petitioner's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel did not overcome this fundamental deficiency, as a subsequently filed LCA could not cure the initial invalid filing.
