Where this case turned

• Economic claims unsupported · p1 — job/revenue projections with no corroborating basis
• Letters conclusory · p1 — letters praise skills in general terms without tracing specific impact

Notable

This is a motion to reconsider following a prior AAO appeal dismissal; the AAO focused primarily on procedural insufficiency of the motion (failure to identify legal error) rather than fresh substantive NIW analysis, and separately addressed a threshold degree-equivalency/translation issue that would independently defeat eligibility.
