Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's initial decision was flawed. The AAO found that the Director incorrectly concluded the petitioner qualified as an advanced degree professional without properly reviewing the evidence of post-baccalaureate experience. The case was sent back for the Director to properly assess the petitioner's eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification before re-evaluating the national interest waiver criteria.
