Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director incorrectly adjudicated the petition. The petitioner sought classification as an individual of extraordinary ability (EB-1A), but the Director denied the petition by applying the legal framework for a national interest waiver (EB-2 NIW). The AAO determined this was a fundamental error and sent the case back for a new decision based on the correct classification criteria.
