Decision Summary

The Director limited the petition's validity period because the Beneficiary's teaching license was temporary. On appeal, the Petitioner, a charter school, submitted new evidence showing the Beneficiary was eligible for a state law exemption that extended the deadline to obtain full certification until 2025. Because this new evidence was directly relevant, the AAO remanded the case for the Director to reconsider the appropriate validity period.
