The decision does not describe the Petitioner's proposed endeavor, as the case was resolved entirely on procedural grounds without reaching the merits of the NIW claim.

  AAO decision text

Notable

Purely procedural decision: the AAO had summarily dismissed the underlying appeal because the Petitioner's brief was never properly received, and on motion the Petitioner showed he had mailed the brief but to the wrong address (a USCIS Phoenix Lockbox in Tempe, AZ, rather than directly to the AAO as required by Form I-290B instructions). No NIW prong or threshold eligibility analysis occurred; the motions to reopen and reconsider were both dismissed on this filing-defect basis alone.
