remanded EB-2 NIW Case: Agricultural Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the director incorrectly denied the petition based on the determination that a Ph.D. was a minimum requirement in the petitioner's field. The AAO found that the petitioner did qualify as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree without a doctorate. The case was sent back to the director for a proper evaluation of the national interest waiver criteria based on the petitioner's actual record.
