Decision Date

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's specific proposed endeavor is not detailed in the decision as the petitioner conceded eligibility for the national interest waiver to focus on disputing a misrepresentation finding.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The motion to reopen was dismissed because the petitioner failed to state new facts as required by 8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a)(2). The evidence submitted regarding third-party assistance with the petition had been previously considered, and the petitioner failed to address the misrepresentation concerns during the Notice of Intent to Revoke (NOIR) stage.
