Decision Summary
The decision was remanded because the director improperly issued a notice of intent to deny instead of a request for evidence (RFE). The AAO determined that since initial evidence was missing but there was no evidence of ineligibility, regulations required the director to first issue an RFE. The case was sent back to the director to issue the proper request for additional evidence.
