H-1B Dismissed — Education (2006): did not establish a required approved Labor Condition

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to submit a required approved Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the initial petition or in response to a Request for Evidence. The AAO noted that the LCA submitted on appeal was certified after the petition's filing date, which violates regulations requiring the LCA to be certified prior to filing.
