sustained EB-1C Case: Management Consulting
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition by improperly dismissing evidence submitted by the petitioner's in-house 'Immigration Counsel,' deeming it an unsupported assertion by an attorney. The AAO found this reasoning to be flawed, as the individual was an employee of the petitioner authorized to present facts, and therefore the evidence should have been considered on its merits. Upon de novo review, the AAO withdrew the director's decision and sustained the appeal.
