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, a supply chain manager, sought EB-2 classification with a national interest waiver of the job offer requirement; the record contains no substantive discussion of his proposed endeavor.

Notable

This decision is purely procedural: the AAO had summarily dismissed the underlying appeal because the petitioner misfiled his brief to the wrong address rather than to the AAO as required. On combined motions, the AAO found the misfiling was the petitioner's own error, not an AAO error, and dismissed both the motion to reopen (new evidence—a FedEx label—did not change the outcome) and the motion to reconsider (no legal/policy error shown). No NIW prong analysis (Dhanasar or otherwise) was reached on the merits.
