Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director did not first establish the petitioner's basic eligibility for the EB-2 classification before analyzing the national interest waiver criteria. The AAO found the record insufficient for review, noting a potential mismatch between the petitioner's mechanical engineering degree and their proposed endeavor in business administration, which raised questions about meeting the 'in the specialty' requirement for an advanced degree.
