Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO disagreed with the Director's finding that the petitioner qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional. The AAO determined that the petitioner's occupation does not require a bachelor's degree and the petitioner's credentials did not equate to a U.S. bachelor's degree, which is a prerequisite for this classification. The case was sent back for a new decision consistent with the AAO's analysis.
