Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO determined the Director had improperly narrowed the petitioner's field to 'performance dancing.' The AAO concluded that the petitioner's area of extraordinary ability was the broader field of 'dance,' encompassing her work as a dancer, choreographer, and instructor. Based on this broader definition, the case was sent back for a new final merits determination.
