Decision Summary

The appeal was remanded because the AAO found that the Director erred in concluding the petitioner qualified as an advanced degree professional. The AAO identified material inconsistencies in the petitioner's educational records, including evidence suggesting his bachelor's degree was incomplete and that his claimed master's degrees were merely certificates, thus undermining his foundational eligibility for the EB-2 classification.
