Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO found errors in the initial decision. While the AAO corrected the Director's finding regarding the submission of the required ETA form, it also withdrew the Director's positive finding that the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions, as it was not established that a baccalaureate degree is a minimum requirement for a pianist. The case was sent back to the Director to re-evaluate the petitioner's basic eligibility for the EB-2 classification.
