intention to employ beneficiary per labor certification terms
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO raised this issue sua sponte beyond the Director's decision. Online records show the job location is a residence belonging to the petitioner's incorporator; the beneficiary's nursing licenses suggest intended employment as a nurse rather than analyst; and a related company's ties to the petitioner cast doubt on which entity would actually employ the beneficiary. The petitioner did not respond to the NOID on this issue.

AAO 为什么未被说服
