dismissed EB-1A Case: Athletics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary has sustained national or international acclaim as a soccer player or coach. The awards presented were determined to be organizational or local, not nationally or internationally recognized. Furthermore, the petitioner did not establish the beneficiary's extraordinary ability as a coach, as the intended area of work, by showing a history of coaching athletes or teams to national or international titles.
