Decision Summary

The appeal was remanded because the Director's denial was based on a completely erroneous understanding of the petitioner's proposed endeavor, analyzing it as a pilot and pilot instructor instead of the actual endeavor of providing legal consultancy services. The AAO found the decision did not pertain to the evidence in the record and ordered the Director to re-evaluate the case based on the correct endeavor and the proper Dhanasar framework.
