    U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services · Non-Precedent Decision of the Administrative Appeals Office · Date: JUL. 17, 2024 · In Re: 31974541 · Motion on Administrative Appeals Office Decision · Form 1-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers (National Interest Waiver)

    The Petitioner, an entrepreneur, 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 Texas Service Center denied the Petitioner's Form 1-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers, concluding that the record did not establish that the Petitioner was eligible for and merited a national interest waiver as a matter of discretion. We summarily dismissed a subsequent appeal after concluding the Petitioner did not identify any erroneous conclusion of law or statement offact in the Director's decision. 1 The matter is now before us on motion to reconsider. The Petitioner bears the burden of proof to demonstrate eligibility by a preponderance of the evidence. Matter of Chawathe, 25 I&N Dec. 369, 375-76 (AAO 2010). Upon review, we will dismiss the motion.

    A motion to reconsider must establish that our prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy and that the decision was incorrect based on the evidence in the record of proceedings at the time of the decision. 8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a)(3). Our review on motion is limited to reviewing our latest decision. 8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a)(l)(ii). We may grant motions that satisfy these requirements and demonstrate eligibility for the requested benefit.

    On motion, the Petitioner raises several issues related to the Director's decision. He does not, however, contest the correctness of our decision to summarily dismiss his appeal. As the Petitioner does not assert that our decision to summarily dismiss his appeal was based on an incorrect application of law or policy, or that the decision was incorrect based on the evidence in the record of proceedings at the time of the decision, we will dismiss the motion. 8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a)(4).

    ORDER: The motion to reconsider is dismissed.
