Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's denial was found to be procedurally deficient. The AAO determined that the Director's reasoning was confusing, lacked substantial analysis under the Dhanasar framework, and improperly conflated the different evidentiary prongs. The case was sent back for a new, properly reasoned decision.
