Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director erred by failing to evaluate whether the petitioner qualified as an alien of exceptional ability, a claimed basis for the petition. The Director also improperly dismissed the national interest waiver claim without applying the correct legal test, incorrectly assuming the waiver is unavailable because the petitioner's occupation does not require an advanced degree.
