EB-1B Dismissed — Academia / Research (2005): the visa category, Outstanding Professor or Researcher

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the visa category, Outstanding Professor or Researcher (EB-1B), requires a U.S. employer to file the petition. The petitioner, an individual alien, improperly filed the petition on his own behalf. This procedural error was the sole basis for the denial and dismissal, without consideration of the petitioner's qualifications.
