Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was qualified for the position at the time of filing. The record did not sufficiently prove that the beneficiary had met all requirements for a temporary license to practice as a speech pathologist in California, or that the only remaining obstacle was the lack of a social security number.
