H-1B Remanded — Unknown (2025): the appeal was remanded due to a procedural error
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded due to a procedural error. The Director's denial was based on the beneficiary's qualifications but failed to include the analysis for their conclusion that the position was not a specialty occupation. The AAO determined the specialty occupation issue must be resolved first and sent the case back for a new decision addressing this primary question.
