remanded EB-1A Case: Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the director denied the petition without first issuing a Request for Evidence (RFE). Although the AAO agreed that the initial evidence was insufficient to establish eligibility, it found that under 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(b)(8), the director was required to issue an RFE to allow the petitioner an opportunity to correct the deficiencies.
