sustained EB-1B Case: Academia
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition because the submitted evidence of a job offer was a letter addressed to immigration services, not to the beneficiary. The AAO sustained the appeal, noting that while the initial evidence was insufficient, the complete case file contained a proper job offer letter for a tenure-track position addressed directly to the beneficiary, which was dated prior to the petition's filing.
