Decision Summary

The Director denied the petition solely on the procedural ground that the petitioner did not submit a Form ETA 9089. The petitioner submitted the form on appeal, overcoming this basis for denial. The AAO remanded the case for the Director to conduct a full review on the merits of the petitioner's eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification and the national interest waiver, as this was not done in the initial decision.
