dismissed EB-1B Case: Agriculture
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a university, failed to establish that it had offered the beneficiary a 'permanent' research position as of the petition's filing date, as required by regulations. The evidence submitted did not sufficiently demonstrate that the job, which was subject to annual renewals, met the regulatory definition of permanent. The AAO also noted that the petitioner had not established that the beneficiary was internationally recognized as outstanding in his academic field.
