This is an AAO appeal decision — a case denied once and appealed. It shows how the framework is applied; it is not the filing population.
The Petitioner, a director of sports and education, sought to continue work in that field in the United States, though the decision does not elaborate on the specifics of the endeavor.

Notable
This decision is almost entirely procedural: the AAO had summarily dismissed the appeal for lack of a timely-filed brief/evidence, and here denies combined motions to reopen/reconsider because the Petitioner failed to show his additional evidence was properly submitted with the Form I-290B (he mailed it separately to the Chicago Lockbox rather than to the AAO). A footnote (n.3) notes that even considering the belatedly submitted evidence, it addressed only Dhanasar prong 2 and left the Director's findings on prongs 1 and 3 unrebutted, but this is offered as an alternative aside rather than a substantive AAO merits analysis, so the prongs are coded as not analyzed.
