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 Petitioner, an insurance sales manager, sought a national interest waiver in connection with continued work in the insurance field; the specific proposed endeavor is not detailed in this motion decision.

Notable
This is a procedural motion decision (combined motion to reopen and reconsider) that does not itself re-analyze the Dhanasar prongs on the merits; the AAO expressly incorporates by reference its prior appellate decision's prong analysis and dismisses the motion for failing to state new facts (motion to reopen) or identify legal/policy error (motion to reconsider). The AAO also reaffirmed that it had properly reserved the threshold EB-2 classification issue under INS v. Bagamasbad and Matter of L-A-C- because the national-interest-waiver denial was independently dispositive.
