Mott Thoroughbred Stables, Inc. v. Rodriguez

Facts

Mott Thoroughbred Stables, Inc. filed two successful O-1 Petitions for an alien beneficiary, asserting his extraordinary ability in thoroughbred racehorse training. However, when the plaintiff filed a third petition in 2013, the USCIS Service Center denied it, citing insufficient evidence of the beneficiary's extraordinary ability in the arts. The plaintiff appealed the decision, arguing that the agency failed to provide clear reasons for not giving deference to the previous approvals, but the appeal was also denied.

Rule
