Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner claimed his field of extraordinary ability was as a postsecondary teacher, but the evidence provided related almost exclusively to his work as a lawyer. The AAO found a disconnect between the claimed field of expertise and the supporting documentation, concluding the petitioner failed to establish sustained acclaim as a postsecondary teacher.
