Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director analyzed the national interest waiver criteria without first establishing the petitioner's basic eligibility for the EB-2 classification. The record was insufficient for review as it lacked a credentials evaluation to determine if the petitioner's foreign degrees were equivalent to a U.S. advanced degree.
