sustained EB-1B Case: Medical Research
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding that the petitioner, a private employer, had not established that it employed at least three full-time researchers. On appeal, the petitioner submitted additional evidence, including statements and resumes, which successfully demonstrated that it did meet the requirement of employing at least three individuals in full-time research activities. The AAO found the petitioner had met its burden of proof and sustained the appeal.
