Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director failed to consider important evidence, specifically the petitioner's bronze medal at the U.S. Open Swimming Championship. The AAO found this oversight constituted a failure to consider the full record, as this was the type of major international competition the Director had faulted the petitioner for not medaling in. The case was sent back for a new decision that properly reconsiders all evidence.
