dismissed EB-1A Case: Soccer
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner failed to provide clear evidence that she would continue to work in her area of expertise in the United States. The petitioner, whose expertise is in soccer, provided evidence of future employment as a 'Games teacher,' which the AAO determined was not adequately related to her specific field of extraordinary ability as a soccer player or coach.
