Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it had offered the beneficiary a qualifying permanent job at the time of filing. The initial offer letter indicated a fixed term of employment contingent on funding, and a new letter submitted on appeal was insufficient to overcome this deficiency. Additionally, the AAO found that the beneficiary's fellowships and research grants were funding for future research by junior investigators, not major prizes or awards recognizing past outstanding achievements.
