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 substantively describe the proposed endeavor; it addresses only procedural motion issues arising from a fourth motion following prior dismissals of the underlying NIW petition.

Notable

This is a fourth motion in the proceedings, addressing only an ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim under Matter of Lozada and standard motion-to-reopen/reconsider requirements; no substantive NIW prong analysis occurs, as the AAO limits review to the prior decision and rejects the Petitioner's mistaken reading of Dakane v. U.S. Att'y Gen. regarding Lozada compliance.
