Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the director's denial was procedurally deficient. The director's decision acknowledged that the petitioner met at least three of the regulatory criteria but then denied the petition without providing a meaningful analysis of why the evidence failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found the denial's reasoning to be contradictory and insufficient, requiring the case to be sent back for further action and consideration.
