Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director improperly denied the petition based on the national interest waiver criteria without first making a determination on the petitioner's underlying eligibility for the EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The AAO sent the case back for the Director to first evaluate the base eligibility and then, if met, re-evaluate the waiver request.
