Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director erred by excluding evidence from the Petitioner's career as a competitive athlete, which the AAO found relevant to his current role as a coach. The Director also misinterpreted the judging criterion and did not fully consider evidence submitted for the original contributions criterion, resulting in a deficient Request for Evidence (RFE) and an improper denial.
