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; it addresses only the procedural disposition of combined motions to reopen and reconsider a prior NIW denial.

Notable
This is a purely procedural decision on the Petitioner's fourth round of motions (after an appeal and three prior combined motions were all dismissed); the AAO does not reach or re-analyze any NIW prong, finding only that the motion to reopen presented no new facts and the motion to reconsider merely rehashed prior arguments, quoting Matter of O-S-G- on that point.

What this case teaches
Analyst reading of the decision text.
Petitioner's motions failed procedurally: no new facts were presented for reopening, and the motion to reconsider merely rehashed prior arguments without showing legal or factual error.
On motions to reopen/reconsider, present genuinely new evidence or pinpoint specific legal/factual errors—repeating prior arguments guarantees dismissal.
