remanded EB-2 NIW Case: Energy Economics
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, incorrectly concluding that a Ph.D. was required for the petitioner to qualify in their field. The AAO determined that the petitioner's two Master's degrees were sufficient to qualify as an advanced degree professional and remanded the case for the director to properly evaluate whether the petitioner's past record justifies a waiver in the national interest.
