dismissed EB-1B Case: Geology And Micropaleontology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide evidence of a qualifying job offer for a permanent, tenured, or tenure-track position; the submitted letter was for a temporary 'Visiting Lecturer' role. The AAO also concurred with the director's finding that the beneficiary's student-level scholarships and fellowships did not constitute major prizes or awards for outstanding achievement in the academic field.
