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
1 of 2 criteria metLabor Certification (Met)
The Petitioner obtained an approved ETA Form 9089 from the Department of Labor, and the AAO withdrew the Director's previous invalidation of it.
Job Qualifications (Not Met)
The Petitioner failed to provide objective evidence to verify the Beneficiary's 24 months of required experience, especially given conflicting statements on prior visa applications.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to resolve inconsistencies regarding the Beneficiary's work history with independent objective evidence. Consequently, the Petitioner did not establish that the Beneficiary possessed the required 24 months of experience as a jewelry repairer. While findings of willful misrepresentation and the invalidation of the labor certification were withdrawn, the lack of proven qualifications warranted the denial.

The Petitioner did not establish the Beneficiary's qualifying experience of four years in consumer marketing and sales in the fashion jewelry industry by the priority date of March 24, 2016. Business registration documents provided did not corroborate job duties or specific employment dates, and inconsistencies in the Beneficiary's work history remained unresolved.

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner did not provide sufficient independent, objective evidence to corroborate the Beneficiary's claimed full-time work experience in Pakistan, which was necessary to meet the 24 months of required experience. The Beneficiary's prior U.S. visitor visa application, where he stated no previous employment, created an inconsistency that required more than just employer letters to resolve.

The initial appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to demonstrate the Beneficiary's qualifying experience for the offered job. The subsequent motions to reopen and reconsider filed by the Petitioner's son were dismissed due to lack of standing. The Beneficiary's current motions to reopen and reconsider were dismissed because they exceeded the scope of the AAO's review, as they did not address the factual or legal correctness of the latest decision (which focused on the Petitioner's son's lack of standing).
