dismissed EB-1B Case: Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petition was improperly self-filed by the alien. The EB-1B classification for an outstanding professor or researcher legally requires a U.S. employer to file the petition. The job offers submitted on appeal were also found to be from non-qualifying employers and for ineligible positions.
