Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish she would continue to work in her area of extraordinary ability. The AAO determined that her acclaimed field of competitive ballroom dancing is a different area of expertise from her proposed work as a dance coach. The decision stated that the petitioner had not demonstrated sustained national or international acclaim as a ballroom instructor, and therefore must satisfy the regulatory criteria through her achievements as a ballroom dancer.
