Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director failed to adjudicate the petition under the specific regulations for a 'new office', even though the Petitioner had filed under this provision. The AAO found that the Director had an affirmative duty to explain why the new office regulations were not applied. The case was sent back for the Director to properly consider the petitioner's eligibility under the new office criteria and issue a new decision.
