This case is from a USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) appeal decision. Appeal cases represent a subset of petitions and may not reflect typical outcomes.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The motions were dismissed because they did not satisfy the regulatory requirements of 8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a). The motion to reopen failed to provide new relevant facts supported by documentary evidence, and the motion to reconsider did not establish that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy.

2024-08-08
The AAO dismissed the combined motions because the petitioner failed to provide new facts supported by documentary evidence related to the February 5, 2024 motion decision for the motion to reopen. For the motion to reconsider, the petitioner did not establish that the AAO was incorrect in its ultimate determination in that same decision. The petitioner's submissions were repetitive and did not address the procedural requirements for reopening or reconsidering the latest adverse decision.
