Our summary

A component design engineer was sponsored by a programmable logic device manufacturer under the EB-2 advanced degree category with a labor certification, not a national interest waiver. The service center denied for missing skills. The AAO withdrew that decision and remanded for review of successor-in-interest status, advertising evidence and qualifying experience.
