Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO found the Director's decision was insufficient for review. The Director had incorrectly concluded the petitioner possessed a qualifying advanced degree, but the AAO determined the record lacked sufficient evidence to establish her foreign diplomas were equivalent to a U.S. advanced degree. The case was sent back for the Director to properly adjudicate this threshold eligibility issue.
