H-1B Dismissed — Law (2015): the combined motion to reopen and reconsider was denied

Decision Summary

The combined motion to reopen and reconsider was denied. The petitioner failed to provide new facts significant enough to change the outcome, as the Labor Condition Application (LCA) for a 'Judicial Law Clerk' did not correspond to the position offered at the petitioning law firm. The initial dismissal was also upheld because the beneficiary's credentials were not proven to be equivalent to a U.S. master's degree, making them ineligible for the master's cap exemption.
