Decision Summary

The appeal was remanded for further action and consideration. The AAO withdrew the Director's finding that the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, determining he fell short of the required five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience. The case was sent back to the Director to re-evaluate the petitioner's eligibility, potentially under the exceptional ability standard, before considering the national interest waiver.
