Decision Summary
The Director revoked the petition due to a plagiarized book submitted as evidence. The AAO found that while there were issues with the evidence, the Director's revocation decision failed to sufficiently explain how the plagiarized material specifically affected the petitioner's eligibility under the required criteria. The case was remanded for the Director to conduct a full analysis of all evidentiary criteria for both exceptional ability and the national interest waiver and issue a new, properly explained decision.
