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 finance manager, sought an EB-2 national interest waiver, but the national importance of her proposed endeavor as a finance manager was never established.

Notable
This decision is a combined motion to reopen and reconsider following a prior appellate dismissal on prong 1 national importance; the AAO incorporates its prior decision by reference and finds no new facts or legal errors, so it does not substantively re-analyze the Dhanasar prongs beyond reaffirming the earlier prong 1 finding.
