Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals
1989 WL 103627 (1989)
Relevant factsFree
Information Industries, Inc. (plaintiff), a Colorado computer consulting firm, applied in December 1986 for alien labor certification for a 'Systems Engineer' position requiring both a B.S. in Engineering and an M.S. in Computer Science. The Certifying Officer found the application noncompliant, and after Information Industries' rebuttal, denied certification on the ground that requiring two separate degrees was unduly restrictive under federal regulations. Information Industries appealed to the Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals.
IssueFree
Whether a narrow definition of 'business necessity' is appropriate when determining if a potential alien employee should be certified.
