EB-1B Dismissed โ Dermatology (2005): did not establish a permanent job offer existed at the time
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a permanent job offer existed at the time of filing, as the evidence indicated a temporary appointment with a specific end date. Additionally, the AAO determined that research fellowships and grants awarded to the beneficiary were funding for future research by a junior investigator, not major prizes recognizing past outstanding achievements.
Criteria Discussed
Permanent Job Offer Major Prizes Or Awards
