Decision Summary

The appeal was remanded because the AAO found the Director's analysis of the Dhanasar criteria was incomplete. The Director did not fully consider all elements of the proposed endeavor, such as curriculum design, for the national importance prong. Additionally, the petitioner submitted significant new evidence on appeal, including a revised business plan and proof of funding, which the AAO determined the Director should review.
