remanded EB-2 NIW Case: Mathematics Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the director evaluated the petition under the incorrect EB-1A (extraordinary ability) standard. Although the petitioner checked the wrong box on the form, all submitted evidence and correspondence indicated an intent to file for an EB-2 classification as an alien of exceptional ability with a national interest waiver. The AAO returned the case for adjudication under the proper EB-2 NIW criteria.
Criteria Discussed
