Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the director's decision was flawed. The director incorrectly concluded that a National Interest Waiver requires an advanced degree and failed to consider the petitioner's eligibility under the alternative standard of 'exceptional ability,' which the case is now sent back to evaluate.
