Decision Summary

The appeal was remanded because the Director incorrectly concluded the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The AAO found the petitioner had not established the U.S. equivalency of her foreign degree or five years of progressive experience. The case was sent back for the Director to evaluate the petitioner's eligibility under the exceptional ability category before considering the national interest waiver.
