Decision Date
2024-07-30
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 proposes to work as an Aircraft Maintenance Specialist through established projects to improve the U.S. aviation industry. The work involves providing aid in troubleshooting, diagnosing, and replacements of aircraft components.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The motion was dismissed because the petitioner attempted to materially change the proposed endeavor after the initial filing to include 'sustainable practices,' which violates 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(b)(1). Additionally, the petitioner did not establish that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy.
