Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's initial denial failed to properly analyze key aspects of the case. The AAO found that the Director did not address whether the petitioner met the basic EB-2 classification requirements or the first prong of the Dhanasar framework (substantial merit and national importance). The case was sent back for a more complete review and a new decision.
