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, a nurse, sought EB-2 classification with a national interest waiver based on her intended employment/practice as a nurse in the United States.

Notable
This decision does not reach the merits of the NIW eligibility at all; it is a procedural remand because the Director dismissed the Petitioner's combined motion solely for lack of a required statement about judicial proceedings, without analyzing the Petitioner's brief or new evidence. The Director had already found the Petitioner met the underlying EB-2 advanced-degree classification but denied the NIW discretionary waiver; that substantive NIW analysis is not revisited by the AAO here.

What this case teaches
Analyst reading of the decision text.
Director dismissed motions solely for missing judicial-proceeding statement without analyzing petitioner's brief or new evidence, requiring remand for a proper merits-based decision.
Ensure procedural requirements (e.g., judicial proceeding statement) are met, but expect adjudicators must still substantively address new evidence and briefing on motions.
