dismissed O-1B Case: Acting
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition because the petitioner failed to provide the mandatory written consultations from an appropriate union and a management organization at the time of filing. Although counsel later submitted the required consultations on appeal, eligibility must be established when the petition is filed, and the record was deficient at that time, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
