sustained EB-1B Case: Academic Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO was persuaded that the offered position of 'adjunct assistant professor' was a research position sufficiently comparable to a tenure-track position. The director had initially denied the petition, believing the job was not permanent, but the petitioner successfully argued that like tenure-track roles, the adjunct position had pathways to continued employment despite an initial time limit.
