Notable
The appeal was dismissed on purely procedural grounds — failure to submit required DOL forms (Form ETA-9089 Appendix A) and an improperly completed Form I-140 — and the AAO expressly declined to reach the national interest waiver merits, citing INS v. Bagamasbad's rule against advisory findings on unnecessary issues.
