Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition partly on the grounds that the practice of law is not a qualifying field under the statute. The AAO disagreed, concluding that law can be considered within the scope of 'sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics'. The case was remanded for the Director to adjudicate four of the petitioner's claimed criteria which were not previously evaluated on their merits.
