Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, agreeing that the petitioner had extraordinary ability as a competitive skater but not as a coach, which was the proposed field of work. The AAO sustained the appeal, concluding that the petitioner demonstrated an overall pattern of acclaim through coaching high-level junior and senior national/international competitors, thus establishing that coaching was within his area of expertise.
