Why This Petition Was Denied

The motion to reconsider was dismissed because it failed to demonstrate a misapplication of law or policy and contained arguments previously rejected, consistent with Matter of O-S-G-.

The motion to reopen was dismissed for not stating new facts supported by documentary evidence, as required by 8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a)(2). The motion to reconsider was dismissed because it did not establish that the prior decision misapplied law or USCIS policy, as per 8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a)(3). USCIS affirmed that service of the NOIR to the last known address was compliant with regulations (8 C.F.R. § 103.8(a)(1) and § 103.8(b)) and rejected the Petitioner's claim of constitutional property rights in the I-140 petition, citing federal court precedents such as Musunuru v. Lynch. The beneficiary's portability claim was denied because the I-140 petition had already been revoked, consistent with Herrera v. U.S. Citizenship & Immigr. Servs. Finally, Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co. was found inapplicable as the Petitioner lacked a constitutionally protected due process interest in the petition, and USCIS's revocation procedures satisfy due process requirements, as established in Karpeeva v. U.S. Dep't of Homeland Sec.
