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 historical architect, sought to pursue work in historical architecture that she argued carried national importance sufficient to warrant a national interest waiver.

Notable
This is a decision on the Petitioner's fifth or sixth successive motion following an earlier appeal dismissal on prong 1 national importance grounds; the AAO does not re-analyze the prongs on the merits, but dismisses solely for failure to satisfy motion-to-reopen (no new facts/evidence) and motion-to-reconsider (no legal/policy error shown) standards under 8 C.F.R. 103.5.
