sustained EB-1B Case: Academia
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, concluding that the employment contract was for a specified term and did not explicitly state the position was tenure-track. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully argued that assistant professor positions at their university are inherently tenure-track and provided an offer letter, which, combined with the executed contract, constituted a valid offer for a qualifying position.
