dismissed H-1B Case: Systems Analysis
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to submit a certified Labor Condition Application (LCA) at the time the petition was filed, as required by regulation. The petitioner submitted an uncertified LCA with the petition and only provided a certified one, dated after the petition's filing date, in response to a request for evidence, which is not permissible as eligibility must be established at the time of filing.
