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 works as a general and operations manager and sought an EB-2 national interest waiver, though the specific endeavor was not substantively described in this procedural decision.

Notable
This is a purely procedural motion decision reviewing a prior summary dismissal of the appeal; the AAO explicitly declined to consider the merits of the NIW petition itself, holding that the Petitioner's eligibility for the waiver 'was not an element in our most recent decision' and thus could not be raised on motion. No substantive prong analysis occurred.
