Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's initial denial contained significant errors. The Director analyzed the wrong proposed endeavor (mechanical engineering instead of barbering), misquoted the Request for Evidence, and provided conclusory analysis without sufficient explanation for the denial. The AAO withdrew the flawed decision and sent the case back for a new, proper review based on the actual facts of the case.
