Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to resolve inconsistencies in the record regarding his specific area of expertise (English language and literature versus psychoanalysis and trauma studies). The AAO agreed with the Director that the Petitioner did not provide clear evidence he was coming to the U.S. to continue work in his area of expertise. Furthermore, the evidence provided for the 'judging the work of others' criterion was deemed insufficient as his role was advisory to students, not as a final judge of professionals in the field.
