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.
