dismissed EB-1B Case: Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petition was improperly filed by the alien researcher himself, rather than by a U.S. employer as required by the regulations. A job offer submitted on appeal could not cure this fundamental defect, as the petition must be filed by the employer from the outset.
