sustained EB-1B Case: Medical Research
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, concluding that the offered Research Associate position was not a "permanent position" as defined by regulation. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided evidence showing the position had an expectation of continued employment, was well-funded, and could be renewed indefinitely, which persuaded the AAO that the job offer was for a permanent position.
