Notable
This decision is a purely procedural dismissal of a motion to reconsider a prior AAO summary dismissal of an appeal. The AAO found the Petitioner did not contest the correctness of the summary dismissal itself, and thus never reached the merits of the NIW eligibility or prong analysis. The decision also notes a procedural quirk: the Petitioner had filed two separate appeals about a week apart, and the AAO addressed only the one corresponding to the receipt number identified in the motion.
