Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director denied the petition based on a national interest waiver analysis without first determining if the petitioner met the prerequisite for the EB-2 classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The AAO found this initial decision insufficient for review and returned the case for a complete merits determination, starting with the advanced degree issue.
Criteria Discussed
Advanced Degree Eligibility National Interest Waiver (Dhanasar)
