Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the director's decision was found to be procedurally and substantively deficient. The director failed to make a specific finding on whether the petitioner qualifies as an alien of exceptional ability, as previously instructed. Furthermore, the director improperly focused on the petitioner's current work as a taxi driver rather than his intended employment as a newspaper publisher, and failed to adequately discuss the evidence related to the national interest waiver criteria.
