Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director made a procedural error by evaluating the petitioner's eligibility based on the wrong timeframe. The Director assessed the company's development a year after the beneficiary's admission, instead of at the time the petition was filed, as required by regulations. The case was sent back for a new decision based on evidence from the correct filing date.
