sustained EB-1B Case: Agricultural Sciences
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, arguing that the employment offer was not permanent because the university's Faculty Manual stated non-tenured faculty have 'no presumption of reappointment'. The AAO sustained the appeal, concluding that the job offer letter itself, which was addressed to the beneficiary and used language tracking the regulatory definition of a permanent position, was sufficient evidence of the petitioner's intent and met the requirement.
