Decision Summary
The case was remanded because the Director improperly dismissed the motion to reopen. The AAO found the Director failed to consider new evidence regarding professional memberships which could potentially help the petitioner meet the minimum criteria for exceptional ability. Additionally, the Director erroneously stated that no evidence of an advanced degree was submitted and failed to analyze the evidence that was provided, warranting a new decision.
