销售运营经理 · NIW 国家利益豁免：发回重审（2024年11月6日）

案件背景

申请人是一名销售运营经理，以杰出能力或高等学位专业人士身份申请EB-2移民分类，并请求豁免职位邀请要求（国家利益豁免）；原审仅以未证明高等学位专业人士资格为由拒绝，未审理杰出能力及国家利益豁免。

审理经过

1. 初次决定

   德州服务中心主任拒绝原申请，仅认定记录未证明申请人符合高等学位专业人士的EB-2分类，未就杰出能力或国家利益豁免作出认定。

   核对原文依据

   The Director of the Texas Service Center denied the petition, concluding that the record did not establish that the Petitioner qualifies for the EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional, and did not provide any other findings or address whether he warrants a national interest waiver.

2. 动议

   申请人随后提出合并的重开与复议动议，说明其主要以杰出能力寻求EB-2分类并提交相关文件，但主任以动议文件仍未推翻先前关于高等学位的认定、且未显示法律或政策错误为由拒绝。

   核对原文依据

   The Director then also denied his subsequent combined motion to reopen and reconsider because the motion assertions and documents still did not show he is an advanced degree professional or otherwise satisfy the motion requirements.

   But the Director nonetheless denied the combined motions simply because the motion documents and assertions still did not overcome the finding contained in the previous denial on the issue of advanced degree

3. 上诉

   申请人向行政上诉办公室提出上诉，再次主张记录证明其以杰出能力符合EB-2分类并满足Dhanasar三要素，并再次提交相关文件；AAO进行重新审查。

   核对原文依据

   On appeal, the Petitioner again avers that the record evidence establishes that he qualifies for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual ofexceptional ability and also satisfies all three Dhanasar prongs

  核对原文依据

  he is primarily seeking EB-2 classification based on exceptional ability

• 阅读提示：杰出能力适用两段式框架，先满足六项标准中至少三项，再进行最终实质审查；本案AAO未就任何一项标准作实质认定。
  核对原文依据

  which requires him to first satisfy at least three of the six regulatory criteria at 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3)(ii) and then demonstrate, under a final merits evaluation

• 阅读提示：国家利益豁免以基础EB-2资格成立为前提；本案发回后主任应先判断杰出能力资格，再进入Dhanasar裁量分析。
