Decision Summary
The motions to reopen and reconsider were granted because the petitioner proved they had timely filed a brief that the AAO initially failed to consider. The case was then remanded because the Director's decision was insufficient for review; the Director analyzed the national interest waiver criteria without first establishing whether the petitioner qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional or an individual of exceptional ability.
