This case is from a USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) appeal decision. Appeal cases represent a subset of petitions and may not reflect typical outcomes.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 1 criteria met
Experience Documentation (Not Met)

The letters provided to document experience were found to lack credibility because they used identical language and contradicted the Beneficiary's prior visa applications.

Job Qualifications (Not Met)

The Beneficiary's prior experience was in the wholesale tools industry and did not include the specific real estate forecasting and analysis duties required by the labor certification.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the Beneficiary possessed the 36 months of experience in the job offered as required by the labor certification. The record did not resolve discrepancies regarding the Beneficiary's employment history, and the prior experience cited was not in the specific real estate field required by the job duties. Consequently, the Beneficiary did not meet the minimum qualifications for the skilled worker classification.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE addressed the lack of qualifying experience and discrepancies in the Beneficiary's employment history; the response was insufficient as the provided letters lacked probative value.

Florida 2025-03-17
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner's motions to reopen and reconsider were untimely, filed over a year after the revocation. Substantively, the Petitioner failed to resolve discrepancies between tax returns and state wage records to prove ability to pay. Furthermore, the Beneficiary did not establish the required two years of full-time experience in the job offered, and evidence suggested willful misrepresentation of her employment history.

USCIS EB-3 remanded
2022-07-28
The AAO withdrew the revocation, stating the Director erred by concluding a lack of a bona fide job opportunity solely because the Petitioner identified the Beneficiary before the labor certification recruitment. DOL regulations do not prohibit seeking a specific person or creating a new position, provided the labor market is properly tested. The case was remanded for the Director to consider if recruitment efforts were otherwise proper.

Nebraska 2023-07-18
The motion to reopen was granted because the Petitioner submitted new material evidence, including an educational equivalency evaluation and a detailed experience letter. The matter was remanded to the Director to evaluate whether this new evidence sufficiently demonstrates that the Beneficiary meets the specific education and experience requirements of the labor certification.
