EB-1B Dismissed — Medical Research: did not establish the beneficiary had the required three
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary had the required three years of qualifying research experience as of the filing date. The AAO also found that the postdoctoral position did not constitute a permanent job offer and that the evidence, which lacked any peer-reviewed publications, failed to establish that the beneficiary was internationally recognized as outstanding.
Criteria Discussed
