dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Athletics Coaching
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the benefits of his work as a collegiate assistant coach would be national in scope. The petitioner's contributions, such as coaching at a single university and organizing a local children's track meet, were deemed geographically limited and insufficient to prove he had influenced the field of track and field as a whole.
