The director denied the petition on the basis that the petitioner did not submit a valid labor condition application with the petition. Counsel submitted a timely Form I-290B Notice of Appeal and indicated that he would send a brief and/or additional evidence to the AAO within 30 days.

In fact, the applicant performs financial analysis. Further proof will be submitted within 30 days of this appeal.
