Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's decision contained contradictory conclusions regarding the basis for the Petitioner's EB-2 classification. The Director's RFE concluded the Petitioner qualified as an advanced degree professional, but the final denial decision stated they qualified based on exceptional ability. The AAO remanded the case for the Director to properly substantiate the basis for the Petitioner's eligibility for the underlying EB-2 immigrant category.
