Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, concluding the petitioner's occupation as a lawyer did not fall under the statutory categories of science, arts, education, business, or athletics. The AAO found that the petitioner's intended employment in business client acquisition and strategic planning for a law firm's China advisory practice was sufficient to fall within the purview of 'business'. Since the Director did not evaluate the evidence against the extraordinary ability criteria, the case was remanded for a full review.
