Decision Date
2024-08-13
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 establish an environmental consulting company that will offer services in environmental law and environmental, social, and governance solutions. She will act as the chief executive officer (CEO) of this company, providing comprehensive legal advice on environmental issues.

Why This Petition Was Remanded

The Director's decision denying EB-2 classification was withdrawn. The AAO found the petitioner eligible for EB-2 as an advanced degree professional because she is a lawyer (a recognized profession), holds a master's degree in law (an advanced degree), and her proposed CEO position for an environmental consulting company involves environmental law, which requires an advanced degree (Juris Doctor or Master of Laws) in the U.S. The matter was remanded for an assessment of the national interest waiver eligibility.
