EB-1B Dismissed โ Food Science: the appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner
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.
