remanded EB-2 NIW Case: Energy Field
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the director's denial was based on the incorrect conclusion that a Ph.D. was required for the petitioner's field. The AAO found that the petitioner qualified as an advanced degree professional without a doctorate and sent the case back for a proper evaluation of the national interest waiver criteria based on the petitioner's full record.
