Decision Summary

The appeal was remanded because the Director's denial decision was procedurally flawed. The Director made conflicting statements about whether the petitioner met the threshold requirement of qualifying as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The AAO withdrew the decision and sent the case back for further review and issuance of a new, properly explained decision.
