Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's decision was procedurally flawed. The Director failed to conduct a proper final merits analysis of the petitioner's exceptional ability claim by not considering the totality of the evidence. Furthermore, the Director did not give due consideration to all submitted evidence when evaluating the national interest waiver prongs under the Dhanasar framework.
