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.

Notable

This decision is purely procedural, dismissing combined motions to reopen and reconsider without reaching any substantive NIW prong analysis; the motion to reopen was dismissed for lack of new facts/evidence, and the motion to reconsider was dismissed because the Petitioner addressed the Director's decision rather than AAO's prior appellate decision and made only a vague, seemingly inapplicable Fourth Amendment argument.
