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 Petitioner's proposed endeavor, as the AAO never reached the merits; the Petitioner is described only as an animal science specialist seeking an NIW.

Notable
This decision is purely procedural: the AAO had summarily dismissed the underlying appeal because the Petitioner failed to timely send his brief/evidence directly to the AAO (he mailed it to the Form I-290B filing address instead). On motion, the AAO never reached any NIW prong analysis, focusing solely on whether the motion to reopen/reconsider met regulatory requirements under 8 C.F.R. 103.5. Both the motion to reopen and motion to reconsider were dismissed for procedural deficiencies, not on the substantive merits of the national interest waiver.
