Notable
This is a purely procedural decision on the Petitioner's third round of combined motions to reopen/reconsider, following a summary dismissal of the original appeal (untimely brief mailed to the wrong address) and dismissal of a first set of combined motions. The AAO never reaches the merits of the NIW prongs; it dismisses because the Petitioner's brief addresses only substantive NIW eligibility without identifying any error in the AAO's prior procedural decision, as required by 8 C.F.R. 103.5(a)(1)(i)-(ii).
