Decision Summary
The decision was remanded because the Director improperly concluded that the Beneficiary's occupation as a showjumping horse groom was not within the field of "athletics." This error tainted the review of the petitioner's request for comparable evidence. The Director also failed to provide a sufficient explanation for denying the criterion related to the Beneficiary serving in a critical or essential capacity for distinguished organizations.
