dismissed O-1A Case: Tennis Coaching
Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed on procedural grounds because the petitioner failed to submit a required statement about judicial proceedings. On the merits, the AAO found the new evidence was insufficient to establish the beneficiary's extraordinary ability as a coach, as it did not adequately prove that students coached by the beneficiary had won nationally or internationally recognized awards.
Criteria Discussed
