sustained EB-1B Case: Medical Research
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding that the job offer for the qualifying permanent position post-dated the filing date. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the process to appoint the beneficiary to the permanent position had begun prior to filing, and therefore the offer was considered to have been made as of the filing date, even though the final written confirmation came a few days later.
