Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's initial denial was procedurally deficient. The AAO found that the Director failed to sufficiently explain the basis for the determination on the 'substantial merit and national importance' and 'well positioned to advance' prongs, and did not adequately address the evidence submitted, thus preventing a meaningful appellate review.
