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 decision does not reach the merits of the Petitioner's proposed endeavor; the appeal was dismissed on a procedural signature defect before any substantive discussion.

Notable
The appeal was dismissed entirely on a procedural ground: the Form I-290B preparer's signature was created by a word processor rather than being a valid signature, which the AAO held meant the appeal was not properly filed. No substantive NIW eligibility analysis (threshold EB-2 or the three Dhanasar prongs) was conducted.
