Decision Summary
The director denied the petition for failing to establish that the beneficiary would be engaged for a specific 'event or events' with defined start and end dates. The AAO sustained the appeal and withdrew the director's decision because the Request for Evidence (RFE) issued to the petitioner never mentioned this specific deficiency, meaning the petitioner was not given a fair opportunity to address the issue prior to the denial.
