Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Service Center Director applied the wrong evidentiary standard. The Director assessed the beneficiary, a music composer and screenwriter for film and television, under the criteria for extraordinary ability in the arts, instead of the correct, distinct criteria for extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry. This was the second time the case was remanded for the same error.
