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, an administrative services manager, sought to work in her field in the United States, though the specific endeavor's national importance was found unestablished.

Notable

This is a purely procedural motion decision incorporating a prior appellate dismissal by reference; the AAO found the motion to reopen deficient for lack of new facts/evidence and the motion to reconsider deficient for failing to identify legal or policy error, without independently re-analyzing the merits of the national importance finding.
