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 proposed an endeavor involving work with organizations referred to as MCA and V4, which he argued carried substantial economic impact, strategic alignment with U.S. interests, and broader benefits tied to U.S.-Brazil trade.

Notable
This decision is a motion to reconsider following a prior dismissed appeal and a prior dismissed motion. The AAO did not re-analyze the NIW prongs on the merits; it found the Petitioner merely reargued previously considered facts without identifying legal or policy error, citing Matter of O-S-G- that a motion to reconsider is not a vehicle to resubmit the same brief and generally allege error.
