Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding that the practice of law is not one of the statutory fields (sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics) for an extraordinary ability visa. The AAO found that a lawyer can qualify if their work is within one of those fields, and determined the petitioner's proposed employment in e-commerce and intellectual property law fell within the field of business. The case was remanded for the Director to evaluate the evidence against the specific regulatory criteria.
