remanded EB-2 NIW Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, finding the petitioner had not established eligibility as an individual of exceptional ability. The AAO found that the petitioner did qualify for the underlying EB-2 classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. Because the Director did not analyze the national interest waiver criteria, the case was remanded for the Director to apply the Dhanasar framework and issue a new decision.
