Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's evidence primarily documented his past achievements as a competitive swimmer, not his current work in the claimed field of coaching and instruction. The AAO found that the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he met the criteria for membership in exclusive associations, published material in major media, or original contributions of major significance within his coaching field.
