Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition by concluding that the petitioner's work as an attorney did not fall within the statutory categories of 'sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics.' The AAO disagreed with this interpretation, stating a professional is not inherently ineligible, and remanded the case for the Director to properly analyze whether the petitioner's field qualifies and to evaluate the evidence against the extraordinary ability criteria, which was not done in the initial denial.
