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 seeks to work in the United States as a skydiving instructor. The record does not provide further specific details regarding the research area or methodologies of the endeavor beyond the general role of instruction.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the Petitioner submitted a brief identical to the one provided on appeal, failing to meet the requirements of 8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a)(3). The Petitioner did not cite specific instances where the AAO misapplied law or policy in its previous decision. Consequently, the underlying denial based on the failure to meet the Dhanasar national interest waiver requirements remains in effect.
