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 specific endeavor; the Petitioner sought classification as an individual of exceptional ability with a national interest waiver, but the appeal was dismissed as a duplicate filing without reaching the merits.

Notable
This decision does not address the merits of the NIW petition. The Petitioner mailed two duplicate Forms I-290B under separate cover for the same denial, resulting in two separate appeal receipts. The AAO had already issued a decision on the other (identical) appeal the same day, and dismissed this one as moot because it was a duplicate filing raising the same issues.
