Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not submit a valid Labor Condition Application (LCA) that covered the requested period of employment at the time the petition was filed. The LCA submitted was expired for the intended employment period, and an LCA certified after the filing date could not cure this deficiency as eligibility must be established at the time of filing.
