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 motion to reconsider was dismissed because the AAO concluded that USCIS properly served the NOIR by routine service, as supported by regulations (8 C.F.R. § 103.8(a)(1), § 205.1(b), § 205.2(b)), USCIS policy, and federal court precedent. The AAO determined that the revocation of an approved immigrant visa petition is not a 'proceeding' that requires personal service under 8 C.F.R. § 103.8(c)(1).

Additionally, the Petitioner did not contest the substantive grounds for revocation or the finding of fraud.

The motions were dismissed because the Petitioner failed to address the specific conclusions of the prior appellate decision regarding the Beneficiary's proposed employment capacity and did not establish that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. Additionally, the Petitioner did not submit new facts or documentary evidence to overcome the deficiencies concerning the claimed qualifying relationship, specifically conflicting ownership information in tax returns and an invalid stock certificate. The Petitioner's new claim of an affiliate relationship was also not sufficiently supported.

The Petitioner merely repeated prior assertions and failed to address the AAO's reason for dismissing the first motion, which was the lack of required initial evidence for several EB-1C criteria.
