EB-1B Sustained — Biomedical Research (2007): the initial petition was denied and the subsequent appeal

Decision Summary

The initial petition was denied and the subsequent appeal dismissed because the petitioner failed to submit a formal job offer letter directly to the beneficiary, which is required evidence. On a motion to reopen, counsel submitted the previously missing job offer letter. The AAO accepted this new evidence, found that it established the offer of a sufficiently permanent position as of the filing date, and consequently withdrew its prior decision and approved the petition.
