USCIS EB-1A remanded
2024-02-08
The Director's initial denial was withdrawn because the Petitioner successfully met the required three criteria (scholarly articles, leading roles, and judging). Specifically, the AAO found the Director applied 'novel substantive requirements' to the judging criterion that were not in the regulations. The case was remanded because the Director had not yet performed the second-step final merits determination required by Kazarian.
