This is an AAO appeal decision — a case denied once and appealed. It shows how the framework is applied; it is not the filing population.
The Petitioner, a computer and information systems manager, sought an EB-2 national interest waiver, though the specific proposed endeavor is not detailed in this procedural decision.

Notable
This decision is a procedural remand, not a substantive NIW merits decision. The AAO withdrew the Director's decision because the Petitioner had not timely received the written denial at his current address, and because the Director failed to address the Petitioner's alternative eligibility claim as a noncitizen of 'exceptional ability.' No prong analysis occurs; the matter is remanded for a new decision, to be certified to AAO if still adverse.
What this case teaches
Analyst reading of the decision text.
Procedural defect: Director's denial notice was not timely served to Petitioner's current address, and exceptional-ability eligibility was never considered, requiring remand.
Ensure USCIS has current address on file; procedural service failures can override substantive merits determinations and force remand regardless of NIW evidence quality.
