dismissed EB-1B Case: Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide evidence of a permanent job offer at the time of filing, as the initial offers were for one-year renewable contracts, not for an indefinite or unlimited duration. The AAO also found that the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's international recognition as outstanding, specifically noting that submitted evidence like scholarships and fellowships did not qualify as major prizes or awards.
