Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the director improperly denied the petition without first issuing a Request for Evidence (RFE). Although the AAO agreed the initial evidence was insufficient, it determined that under 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(b)(8), the director should have requested additional evidence rather than issuing a straight denial.
