Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's extraordinary ability in the proposed field of sports instruction and school management. The AAO determined that the beneficiary's past achievements as a competitor were in a different area of expertise and did not demonstrate sustained acclaim in the proposed field. The evidence provided related to a competitive career that ended over 15 years prior, not to the current intended field of instruction.
