Source holds and limits

["Not a criterion-level merits disposition.", "The first appeal has a separate decision not included in this source; this page does not resolve those issues.", "Do not assign “met” to any particular criterion based on the count of two."]

Specific caveats recorded by the reviewer

  • Not a criterion-level merits disposition.

  • The first appeal has a separate decision not included in this source; this page does not resolve those issues.

  • Do not assign “met” to any particular criterion based on the count of two.

Source-cited findings recorded in review

  • Petitioner is a data center/network engineer in the pharmaceutical industry.

  • Director found two of ten initial evidentiary criteria met, one fewer than required for final-merits determination; the decision does not identify which two.

  • Petitioner had previously appealed; AAO states it will issue a separate decision on the first appeal.

  • Current submission raised the same issues as the first appeal and was dismissed as moot.
