Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's decision did not provide a complete analysis or adhere to regulations. The Director improperly concluded that 'athletic trainer' and 'coach' were different fields, leading to an incorrect dismissal of evidence for the awards and membership criteria. The AAO instructed the Director to re-evaluate the evidence under a unified understanding of the petitioner's field.
