Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the petitioner did not intend to continue working in her area of expertise because her experience was as a performer but her intent was to teach. The AAO remanded the matter because the Director failed to first evaluate whether the petitioner met the underlying extraordinary ability criteria before considering if she intended to continue working in her field in the U.S. The case was sent back for proper sequential analysis.
