This case is from a USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) appeal decision. Appeal cases represent a subset of petitions and may not reflect typical outcomes.

Proposed Endeavor

The Petitioner proposes to operate as an entrepreneur in the field of distance education with a focus on information technology. The work involves developing web portals, creating online courses, and organizing technology events and mentorship sections for software engineering professionals.

Why This Petition Was Remanded

The appeal was remanded because the Director failed to determine if the Petitioner qualified as an advanced degree professional before conducting the Dhanasar analysis. While the Petitioner failed to meet the 'exceptional ability' criteria (failing to prove 10 years of experience, high salary, or professional memberships), his academic credentials and MBA equivalency were not sufficiently analyzed.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE targeted the Petitioner's eligibility for the EB-2 classification, specifically regarding salary remuneration and professional memberships. The Petitioner responded with currency conversion explanations and AMA membership details, which were found insufficient.
