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 proposed endeavor is in the field of management consulting, which she seeks to establish as having national importance to merit a national interest waiver.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The motions were dismissed because they failed to address the basis of the prior dismissal of the second combined motion, which was procedural (untimeliness and lack of new facts/error assertion). The petitioner did not meet the burden of proof or persuasion under 8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a)(1)(ii) for a motion to reopen or reconsider, as the motions instead focused on re-establishing national importance, a matter previously decided.

The motions to reopen and reconsider were dismissed. The initial appeal was dismissed as untimely, filed 40 days after the Director's decision. The petitioner's argument that submission to USPS was equivalent to submission to USCIS was rejected, as USCIS considers a request received only when physically or electronically received at a designated filing location. No tracking data was provided to prove timely mailing or receipt. For the motion to reopen, the petitioner did not establish eligibility. For the motion to reconsider, the petitioner failed to show the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy.
