This is an AAO appeal decision — a case denied once and appealed. It shows how the framework is applied; it is not the filing population.
The Petitioner, a skydiving instructor, sought to work in the United States in that occupation under an EB-2 classification with a national interest waiver.

Notable
This decision does not address the NIW prongs substantively; it dismisses a motion to reconsider because the Petitioner resubmitted the identical appeal brief without identifying any legal or factual error in the AAO's prior decision, citing Matter of O-S-G- for the principle that resubmitting the same brief does not satisfy motion requirements.
