Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's decision improperly focused only on the petitioner's staffing levels at the time of filing and failed to consider the full record, including business and hiring plans. However, the AAO also found the record contained insufficient evidence and ambiguities regarding the actual nature and scope of the business, such as conflicting lease agreements and unclear revenue streams, warranting a remand for further evidence.
