Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director denied the petition based on the 'national importance' prong without first conducting a full and proper analysis of the petitioner's eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The AAO found the Director's brief conclusions on several exceptional ability criteria (salary, memberships, contributions) to be inadequate and instructed the Director to re-evaluate the evidence on remand before making a final decision.
