Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, concluding that the petitioner's field, the practice of law, was not one of the eligible fields for the EB-1A classification. The AAO disagreed, finding that the petitioner's work as a senior corporate attorney focusing on complex business transactions falls within the purview of 'business.' The case was remanded for the Director to properly evaluate the petitioner's evidence against the specific extraordinary ability criteria, an analysis that was not performed in the initial decision.
