The Petitioner sought to continue working as a sales manager providing pre-sale consulting, sales support, strategy optimization, and operational support services to U.S. logistics companies.

Notable
The decision is primarily procedural, addressing the standard for a motion to reconsider (8 C.F.R. 103.5(a)(3)) and clarifying that AAO appellate review is de novo; it declines to revisit prongs 2 and 3 since the dispositive failure on prong 1 (national importance) alone justified dismissal of the underlying appeal.
