Decision Summary
The AAO found that the petitioner successfully demonstrated exceptional ability as an athlete, satisfying at least three criteria based on her accomplishments in the 1980s. However, the petition was ultimately denied because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The AAO reasoned that the proposed benefits of her employment as an assistant coach for a small college were not sufficient to warrant a waiver, especially given the lack of recent evidence of her exceptional ability.
