The Petitioner established a bona fide job offer and the intent to employ the beneficiary under the terms of the labor certification despite current employment by a subsidiary.
Why This Petition Was Approved
The AAO determined that a petitioner is not required to currently employ a beneficiary, only to show intent for prospective employment once permanent residency is granted. Evidence regarding the relationship between the non-profit healthcare system and its subsidiary satisfied the preponderance of evidence standard for a bona fide job offer.

USCIS EB-3 rfe remanded
2022-06-17
The AAO withdrew the Director's finding regarding the lack of a bona fide job opportunity, noting that recruitment was performed and Japanese language skills were required. The case was remanded to determine if the job offer is permanent, as the record lacked evidence of the Beneficiary's interpretation of the three-year employment commitment agreement. The Director must now seek additional proof regarding the intended term of employment.

USCIS EB-3 dismissed
2023-08-30
The motion was dismissed because the Petitioner misapplied nonimmigrant regulations (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(h)(4)(iii)(D)(5)) to an immigrant petition. Under EB-3 professional criteria, a candidate must possess an actual U.S. bachelor's degree or a foreign educational equivalent, and experience alone cannot substitute for this requirement. Furthermore, the labor certification specifically required a 'foreign educational equivalent,' which the Beneficiary's experience-based evaluation did not satisfy.

USCIS EB-3 remanded
2024-07-11
The appeal was sustained to the extent of remanding because the Petitioner demonstrated by a preponderance of evidence that it timely responded to the NOIR. The AAO withdrew the revocation to allow the Director to review the previously unexamined response and enter a new decision. The core issue was a procedural error regarding the receipt of the Petitioner's rebuttal evidence.
