Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's profession as a lawyer was found not to fall within the statutorily enumerated fields of 'sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics' required for this visa classification. The AAO determined that Congress intentionally excluded members of the professions, like law, from the EB-1A category, making the petitioner statutorily ineligible regardless of other achievements.
