Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because there was a mismatch between the beneficiary's area of expertise (rock and roll memorabilia) and the proposed employment (Executive Director for a drunk driving charity). The AAO concluded that the petitioner must establish the beneficiary's extraordinary ability in the field they intend to work in within the U.S., which is as a nonprofit director. The evidence related to memorabilia was not considered for the proposed role, and the petitioner failed to demonstrate the beneficiary's acclaim as an executive director.
