remanded EB-2 NIW Case: Analytical Chemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the petition was intended to be for a National Interest Waiver (EB-2 NIW) but was incorrectly filed as an EB-1A petition due to a clerical error. The AAO found that the director erred by denying the petition without first issuing a Request for Evidence (RFE) to clarify the intended classification, especially since multiple documents in the record indicated the petitioner sought an NIW.
