Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the petitioner failed to establish basic eligibility for the EB-2 classification. The AAO found that the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence, such as official academic records with certified English translations, to prove his foreign master's degree was equivalent to a U.S. advanced degree. The case was sent back to the Director to request this foundational evidence before re-evaluating the national interest waiver criteria.
