dismissed EB-1B Case: Cardiothoracic Surgery
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide evidence of a permanent job offer to the beneficiary that existed at the time of filing the petition. Additionally, the AAO concluded that the petitioner had, at best, established that the beneficiary met only one of the six regulatory criteria required to prove they are internationally recognized as outstanding, while a minimum of two is necessary.
