Decision Summary

The Director's denial was withdrawn and the case was remanded because the Director failed to first analyze the validity of the supporting Labor Condition Application (LCA). The AAO found a significant discrepancy between the duties of the proffered "administrative manager" position and the SOC code used on the LCA, which was for "secretaries and administrative assistants." The case was sent back for the Director to first determine if the SOC code and wage level on the LCA accurately support the petition before making a new decision.
