Summary:
The claimant was denied benefits because she did not have a valid Employment Authorization. Her work permit had expired on March 22, 2004 and was not renewed until September 2004. The Umpire finds that missing from the evidence on file is the claimant's view why it took so long to obtain the renewal of her Employment Authorization and stated that if the restrictions imposed by the need to have an Authorization were more technical than real, then the claimant would meet the availability requirements of the Employment Insurance Act. Case adjourned until further investigation by the Commission.
