The deciding factor: The AOJ did not properly address the appellant's contention that she did not withdraw from her June 2022 to July 2022 term and requested clarification from her educational institution.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
