Decision Summary
The AAO remanded the case, disagreeing with the director's dismissal of the petitioner's Olympic bronze medal, which the AAO found to be a qualifying one-time achievement. However, the case was sent back for the director to determine if the petitioner's entry would substantially benefit the United States, as evidence suggested he was training to compete for the Brazilian national team.
