Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's initial decision was deemed insufficient for review. The AAO found that the Director failed to properly apply all three prongs of the Dhanasar analytical framework, specifically by not rendering a determination on the first prong and providing inadequate analysis for the second and third prongs. The case was sent back for a new decision consistent with the proper legal framework.
