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 decision does not describe the Petitioner's proposed endeavor; it addresses only procedural issues regarding a summarily dismissed appeal.

Notable

This decision is purely procedural: it concerns whether the AAO erred in summarily dismissing the Petitioner's underlying appeal for failure to timely submit an appeal brief, not the merits of the NIW petition. The Petitioner argued her brief was delivered to an address in Tempe, Arizona, but the AAO found this did not establish delivery to its office. No substantive NIW prong analysis occurs.
