Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's denial was flawed and insufficient for review. The Director failed to properly analyze several criteria for exceptional ability and fundamentally mischaracterized the petitioner's proposed endeavor (calling him a corporate lawyer instead of a software engineer) when evaluating the national interest waiver prongs.
