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 management and financial analyst, proposed an endeavor supported by a business plan involving incorporation documents and an operational blueprint for her own company.

Notable
This is the Petitioner's second round of motions after a prior AAO appeal dismissal and a prior motion dismissal; the AAO treats the motion as merely reasserting prior claims without new facts or law, citing Rijal v. USCIS (an EB-1 case) as inapplicable. Prongs were not substantively re-analyzed because the motion failed on procedural grounds (no new facts/law) rather than merits.
