Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the petitioner's foundational eligibility for the EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional was not clearly established. The AAO found unresolved inconsistencies regarding whether the petitioner's three-year Brazilian degree was equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree. The case was sent back to the Director for a new determination on the petitioner's educational qualifications before the national interest waiver itself could be assessed.
