sustained EB-1B Case: Science
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding that the petitioner, a government-funded national laboratory, did not qualify as a 'private employer'. The appeal was sustained because the record established that the laboratory is managed and operated by a private, non-profit limited liability company, which meets the statutory definition of a private employer eligible to file for an outstanding researcher.
