Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director failed to conduct a proper final merits determination as required by the Kazarian two-part analysis. The Director's decision did not consider the totality of the submitted evidence, specifically omitting discussion of the petitioner's memberships, published materials, contributions to the field, and expert opinion letters, thus failing to sufficiently justify the denial.
