Notable
This decision does not reach the merits of the NIW prongs at all; it is a procedural dismissal of a motion to reopen for failure to present new facts, following multiple prior dismissals (appeal, motion to reconsider, combined motion, and a prior motion to reopen). The Petitioner submitted presidential executive orders on AI/blockchain policy and cybersecurity strategic plans, but the AAO found these did not constitute new facts bearing on its most recent decision.
