dismissed EB-2 (NIW)

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.
Proposed Endeavor
The petitioner, an architect, seeks to work in the United States within her field of specialty. The specific details of her proposed research or work focus were not discussed in the decision due to the procedural dismissal.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The motion to reopen was dismissed because the petitioner failed to submit the required appeal brief to the AAO, instead incorrectly sending it to the Form I-290B filing location. Consequently, the petitioner did not timely address the Director's reasons for denial or identify erroneous conclusions of law or fact. The AAO noted she qualifies for EB-2 classification based on a bachelor's degree and five years of experience, but did not reach the Dhanasar merits.
