Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's initial decision was insufficient for review. The Director failed to address the first prong of the Dhanasar framework—whether the proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance—after the Petitioner submitted new evidence. The case was sent back to the Director to properly analyze this criterion and issue a new decision.
