Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded due to a procedural error. The Director's denial was based on the petitioner failing to establish the 'national importance' of their endeavor, which contradicted a prior Request for Evidence (RFE) that stated this prong had been met. This discrepancy did not give the petitioner a fair opportunity to address the alleged deficiency, so the case was sent back for a new decision considering all evidence and arguments.
