    U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services · Non-Precedent Decision of the Administrative Appeals Office · Date: APR. 2, 2024 · In Re: 30681342 · Motion on Administrative Appeals Office Decision · Form 1-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (National Interest Waiver)

    The Petitioner, an entrepreneur in the insurance sector, seeks employment-based second preference (EB-2) immigrant classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, as well as a national interest waiver of the job offer requirement attached to this classification. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 203(b )(2), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b )(2).

    The Director of the Nebraska Service Center denied the petition, concluding that the Petitioner did not establish that a waiver of the classification's job offer requirement, and thus of the labor certification, would be in the national interest. We dismissed a subsequent appeal affirming the Director's decision. The matter is now before us on a motion to reconsider.

    A motion to reconsider must establish that our decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy and that the decision was incorrect based on the evidence in the record ofproceedings at the time of the decision. 8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a)(3).

    On motion, the Petitioner submits a brief with no new evidence and asserts that our prior decision "is deficient, as it does not evaluate all the arguments presented by the Petitioner in the appeal, that would, undoubtedly, lead to a different conclusion ... " The Petitioner does not identify which appellate arguments were not addressed in our previous decision. Nor does the Petitioner explain how our prior appeal decision did not follow the regulations and policy guidance. Upon review, we do not find any error or incorrect application of law or policy.

    On motion, the Petitioner also asserts multiple errors in the Director's decision, including a violation of due process.

    our conclusions; the motion must demonstrate how we erred as a matter of law or policy. See Matter of O-S-G-, 24 I&N Dec. 56, 58 (BIA 2006) (finding that a motion to reconsider is not a process by which the party may submit, in essence, the same brief and seek reconsideration by generally alleging error in the prior decision).

    In these proceedings, it is the Petitioner's burden to establish eligibility for the requested benefit by a preponderance ofthe evidence. Section 291 ofthe Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1361. The Petitioner has not shown that our prior decision contained errors of law or policy, or that the decision was incorrect based on the record at the time of that decision. Therefore, the motion does not meet the requirements of a motion to reconsider and must be dismissed.

    ORDER: The motion to reconsider is dismissed.
