remanded EB-2 NIW Case: Religious Administration
Decision Summary
The director's decision was withdrawn and the petition was remanded due to a procedural error. The director adjudicated the case as an EB-1A (extraordinary ability) based on a checked box on the form, but the evidence submitted by the petitioner consistently referred to the criteria for an EB-2 NIW (exceptional ability with a national interest waiver). The case was sent back to clarify the intended classification and then adjudicate it under the correct legal standard.
Criteria Discussed
Extraordinary Ability (Eb-1A) Exceptional Ability / National Interest Waiver (Eb-2 Niw)
