Decision Summary

The Director denied the petition because the beneficiary's job offers were for one-year terms, concluding the offer was not for a permanent position. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that despite the yearly contracts, the petitioner's history of renewing the employment and its stated intent to employ the beneficiary indefinitely created an 'ordinary expectation of continued employment,' which satisfies the regulatory definition of a permanent research position.
