dismissed EB-1A Case: Athletics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's documented acclaim was as a competitive dancer, which the AAO considered a different field of expertise from her proposed work as a dance instructor and coach. The AAO determined that her acclaim as a competitor was not sustained up to the time of filing and that she had not established the required level of achievement in her intended field of coaching.
