Decision Summary
The case was remanded because the Director's decision was insufficient for review. The Director failed to first determine the petitioner's eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification (as either an advanced degree professional or an individual of exceptional ability) before proceeding to the national interest waiver analysis. The AAO withdrew the decision and sent the case back for a new decision that properly addresses the threshold eligibility requirements.
