  AAO decision text

Notable

This is a purely procedural motion decision: the AAO dismissed both the motion to reopen and motion to reconsider for failing basic regulatory requirements (no new facts, no argument of legal/policy error), without reaching or reanalyzing the substantive NIW prongs from the prior appeal decision. The AAO also emphasized that a petitioner must specifically identify supporting evidence and cannot rely on the reviewing body to search voluminous records, citing multiple circuit and BIA cases on this point.
