Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO found the Director's decision was deficient. The AAO disagreed with the Director's finding that the petitioner qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification and also concluded that the Director failed to adequately analyze the evidence or explain the denial under the 'substantial merit' and 'well-positioned' prongs of the Dhanasar framework. The case was sent back for a new, properly reasoned decision.
