Decision Summary

The Director denied the petition by concluding that the petitioner's field, law, was not one of the qualifying fields (sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics). The AAO found that the Director's analysis was insufficient and that the petitioner's work in corporate mergers and acquisitions could fall within the purview of 'business.' The case was remanded for the Director to properly analyze the petitioner's field and then proceed to evaluate the evidence against the regulatory criteria for extraordinary ability.

Criteria Discussed

Qualifying Field Of Endeavor (Business Vs. Law) Major Internationally Recognized Award Evidentiary Criteria (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(H)(3))
