Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO found the Director's decision was incomplete and flawed. The AAO determined there was insufficient evidence to support the Director's conclusion that the petitioner qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, specifically questioning the foreign degree equivalency and the calculation of post-baccalaureate experience. The case was sent back for the petitioner to address these deficiencies and for a new decision to be issued.
