even support research associate/specialist.

You must demonstrate international recognition for your outstanding
achievements in a particular academic field. You must have at least 3 years
experience in teaching or research in that academic area. You must be
entering the United States in order to pursue tenure or tenure track
teaching or comparable research position at a university or other
institution of higher education.
This is from USCIS website. it looks like faculty has to be tenured or on
tenure track, right? |

Section 203(b)(1)(B)(iii)(I)-(III) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (
“INA”) defines employment for outstanding professors and researchers as:
(I) for a tenured position (or tenure-track position) within a university or
institution of higher education to teach in the academic area;
(II) for a comparable position with a university or institution of higher
education to conduct research in the area; or
(III) for a comparable position to conduct research in the area with a
department, division, or institute of a private employer, if the department,
division, or institute employs at least 3 persons full-time in research
activities and has achieved documented accomplishments in an academic field.
"
This official "memorandum provides guidance on applying the definition of “
permanent employment” as set forth in 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(i)(2) when
adjudicating first preference (EB-1) petitions filed on behalf of
outstanding researchers."
USCIS before had a lot of disputes about "permanent employment", so they had
this guidance memorandum to clarify it. Note the second bullet (II) saying
"a comparable position with a university." As long as you can provide
evidence (usually an employment verification letter stating your position is
permanent and full-time), you should be mostly fine.

non tenure track faculty is permanent and full time but it looks like it won
't qualify for EB1B. |
