  AAO decision text

Notable

This decision is a motion (reopen/reconsider) on a prior AAO appeal decision, not a fresh merits review; the Petitioner incorrectly claimed the prior appeal had been summarily dismissed, and the AAO clarified it had in fact issued a full national-importance analysis under Dhanasar prong 1 in that earlier decision. No substantive prong analysis occurs in this decision itself.
