Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the director made a procedural error by evaluating the petition under the wrong legal standard. The petitioner filed for an alien of extraordinary ability (EB-1A), but the director incorrectly applied the criteria for an outstanding professor or researcher (EB-1B). Additionally, the director issued the denial before the petitioner's time to respond to a Request for Evidence (RFE) had expired.
