The appeal was remanded because the petitioner submitted new evidence on appeal, specifically a foreign academic equivalency evaluation, which the Director must review to determine if the petitioner qualifies as an advanced degree professional. Additionally, the AAO instructed the Director to re-evaluate the petitioner's eligibility under the exceptional ability criteria concerning her license to practice law and membership in professional associations.
