Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the director's denial was based on procedural errors. The AAO determined that the director improperly denied the petition for lacking a labor organization consultation, which should have been waived under the circumstances. Additionally, the AAO found that the director incorrectly identified the petition as an improper self-petition, clarifying that it was correctly filed by a U.S. agent despite clerical errors on the form.
