Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner requested an H-1B extension beyond the beneficiary's six-year maximum. The beneficiary was not eligible for an exemption at the time the petition was filed, as the required labor certification and I-140 petition were submitted more than a year after the H-1B petition was filed, and eligibility must be established at the time of filing.
Criteria Discussed
