Decision Summary
The decision was remanded because the director failed to properly analyze the petition. The director denied the case on the basis that the proposed job does not require an advanced degree, but completely failed to consider the petitioner's alternative claim of qualifying as an alien of exceptional ability. Therefore, the director also failed to properly apply the legal test for a national interest waiver for an alien of exceptional ability.
