Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's denial was procedurally deficient. The AAO found that the Director failed to fully review and analyze the entire record, including expert opinion letters and industry reports, and did not provide any analysis for the second Dhanasar prong, thus preventing a meaningful appellate review.
