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 substance of the Petitioner's proposed endeavor; the AAO's analysis is limited to procedural grounds for dismissal.

Notable
The AAO summarily dismissed the appeal on purely procedural grounds under 8 C.F.R. 103.3(a)(1)(v), finding the Petitioner failed to identify any specific error in the Director's decision (which had denied the petition solely on prong 2 evidence postdating the filing date). The AAO expressly declined to reach the EB-2 threshold classification issue, and noted the Petitioner appeared to have filed a new NIW petition that remained pending, which may explain the unresponsive appeal brief.
