remanded EB-2 NIW Case: Analytical Chemistry
Decision Summary
The director's decision was withdrawn and the petition was remanded for further consideration. The AAO determined that the director incorrectly concluded a Ph.D. was required in the petitioner's field, finding that the petitioner's Master's degree was sufficient to qualify as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The case was remanded for a proper evaluation of whether the petitioner's past record justifies a national interest waiver.
