Decision Summary

The Director denied the petition, concluding the petitioner's proposed role as a CEO did not require her advanced degree in law. The AAO withdrew this decision, finding that because the petitioner is a lawyer and her proposed company will provide environmental law services, her role does require an advanced degree. The matter was remanded for the Director to now assess the petitioner's eligibility for a national interest waiver under the Dhanasar framework.
