Decision Date
2022-07-18
This case is from a USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) appeal decision. Appeal cases represent a subset of petitions and may not reflect typical outcomes.

Proposed Endeavor

The petitioner proposes to establish a sports academy to cultivate American players and increase the popularity of a unique sport. Additionally, she intends to establish a sports public relations firm devoted to the promotion and marketization of the sport to transform it into a mainstream U.S. sporting event.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy at least three criteria for exceptional ability under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3)(ii). Specifically, the record did not establish 10 years of full-time experience in the occupation, nor did it provide sufficient evidence of recognition for significant contributions to the industry or a valid license/certification required for the profession.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE targeted the petitioner's qualification as an individual of exceptional ability. The petitioner responded with letters and clarification of her job duties, but failed to prove 10 years of full-time experience or significant industry recognition.
