dismissed EB-1B Case: Cancer Biology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner failed to establish that the job offer was for a 'permanent' position as defined by regulations. The petitioner's use of annual contracts was found to be inconsistent with the regulatory requirement for a term of indefinite duration where termination is only for good cause. The AAO also noted that the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was internationally recognized as outstanding in her academic field.
