Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's acclaimed achievements were primarily as a competitive dancer, but her intended work in the U.S. is as a dance instructor and choreographer. The AAO determined that competitive dancing and dance instruction are not the same area of expertise, and the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim in her proposed field of instruction and choreography.
