USCIS rfe remanded

Texas 2025-03-13

The AAO found the Beneficiary met the 'awards' criterion through British 'umpire of the year' honors and the 'leading/critical role' criterion via his duties training and assessing umpires for national associations. However, the 'published material' criterion was not met as articles lacked substantial discussion of the Beneficiary, and the 'high salary' criterion was unmet due to inconsistent documentation regarding total global earnings and the number of comparable employees. The case was remanded to address the 'judging' and 'comparable evidence' criteria which the Director previously ignored.

USCIS dismissed

2025-02-25

The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the prior decision misapplied law or USCIS policy. The AAO affirmed that the beneficiary did not meet the required three out of ten EB-1A criteria. The 2018 award lacked evidence of national or international recognition, and the FA Coaches' Club membership requirements were deemed basic, not 'outstanding achievements' judged by experts. Furthermore, the submitted articles about the beneficiary lacked evidence of appearing in 'professional or major trade publications or other major media' due to missing circulation/readership data and target audience information.
