Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, concluding that the petitioner had not established that the job offer was for a tenure-track position, as the contract was for a limited term. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided a satisfactory explanation that all assistant professor positions at the university are tenure-track, and the combination of a recommendation letter and an executed contract from the Provost constituted a valid qualifying job offer.
