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 mathematics teacher, sought to work in the United States under an EB-2 classification with a national interest waiver, though the substantive nature of her proposed endeavor is not discussed in this procedural decision.

Notable
This is the Petitioner's sixth combined motion to reopen/reconsider following an original appeal, four prior combined motions, an improper appeal of an AAO decision (rejected for lack of jurisdiction), and a fifth combined motion. The AAO does not reach any substantive NIW merits; it dismisses solely on procedural grounds because the Petitioner failed to address the jurisdictional basis of the prior dismissal, as required by the scope-of-motion regulation limiting review to 'the prior decision.'
