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 describe the underlying proposed endeavor; it concerns only procedural motions after a prior summary dismissal of the appeal.

Notable

Purely procedural decision: the AAO never reached the NIW merits. The underlying appeal had been summarily dismissed because the Petitioner failed to submit a brief to the AAO (he mistakenly mailed it to a different address per the FedEx shipping label he later submitted). This second combined motion to reopen/reconsider was dismissed because the misfiling was the Petitioner's own error, not an AAO error, and the shipping label did not show the AAO's prior decision was incorrect. No prong or threshold analysis occurred in this decision itself.
