dismissed EB-1B Case: Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the job offer for a postdoctoral research fellow was a 'permanent' position as required by regulations. The director noted that postdoctoral positions are typically temporary, and a letter purporting to offer a permanent position was contradicted by the petitioner's own policy manual, which stated such employment is 'at-will' and that the signatories lacked the authority to offer permanent employment.
