EB-1B Dismissed โ Physiology And Pharmacology (2006): did not establish the offered position of 'Post Doctoral
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the offered position of 'Post Doctoral Fellow' was a permanent research position as required by regulation. The director concluded that postdoctoral positions are typically temporary, and the evidence submitted on appeal, including a report from The Association of American Universities, actually supported this conclusion rather than refuting it.
