Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, concluding the petitioner failed to specify a single area of expertise by listing multiple related activities. The AAO disagreed, finding that rock climbing, mountaineering, and skiing are sufficiently interrelated to constitute one field. The case was remanded because the Director did not provide a detailed analysis of the evidence against the claimed criteria and must now issue a new decision on the merits.
Criteria Discussed
