Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner's field of expertise in security, protective services, and policing was determined not to fall within the statutorily enumerated fields of 'sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics.' The AAO concluded that since the petitioner's occupation was outside the scope defined by Congress for this visa category, he was fundamentally ineligible, making any further discussion of his achievements under the specific regulatory criteria moot.
