dismissed EB-1B Case: Food Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner failed to submit the actual job offer letter issued to the beneficiary, which is a fundamental requirement. The AAO concurred with the director that letters addressed to immigration authorities describing the employment do not constitute a valid offer. The decision also began to address the lack of evidence for international recognition, noting that a patent application or the originality of research alone does not prove the significance of the beneficiary's contributions.
