EB-1A
sustained EB-1A Case: Athletics
Decision Summary
The director revoked the initially approved petition, believing the petitioner's contract with a Bulgarian company indicated she did not intend to continue her work in the United States. The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the contract did not preclude eligibility and that other evidence, including letters from her university, sufficiently demonstrated her plans to continue coaching and competing in the U.S.
