Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's denial was procedurally deficient. The Director failed to first make a determination on the petitioner's eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification (as an advanced degree professional or individual of exceptional ability) and did not provide a meaningful analysis of the evidence for the national interest waiver criteria under the Dhanasar framework.
