Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's decision lacked any analysis explaining which regulatory criteria the petitioner satisfied to be considered at the top of his field. The AAO also noted that the Director defined the petitioner's field too narrowly as "Georgian folklore and liturgical music," and instructed the Director to reevaluate it more broadly before making a new decision.
