The record does not describe the specific endeavor; the Petitioner sought an EB-2 national interest waiver as an entrepreneur, but this decision concerns only procedural motion issues, not the merits of the endeavor.

  AAO decision text

Notable

This decision does not reach the merits of the NIW petition at all; it concerns a second combined motion to reopen/reconsider a prior summary dismissal of the appeal, which itself arose from the Petitioner's failure to timely submit his appeal brief directly to the AAO as required by Form I-290B instructions. The AAO rejected arguments that the form instructions were outdated or ambiguous regarding the AAO's mailing address.
