dismissed H-1B Case: Software Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Labor Condition Application (LCA) for the new employment location was certified after the petition was filed, violating the requirement that a valid LCA be obtained prior to filing. Furthermore, the petitioner failed to provide a sufficiently detailed description of the beneficiary's duties from the end-client to prove the position qualified as a specialty occupation.
