Decision Summary

The director initially denied the petition, concluding that the petitioner had not offered the beneficiary a permanent job as of the filing date. On appeal, the petitioner provided a job offer letter dated prior to filing for a position 'without an end date,' which satisfied the regulatory definition of a permanent position. Consequently, the AAO withdrew the denial and remanded the case for the director to evaluate the remaining criteria, specifically whether the beneficiary is internationally recognized as outstanding.
