飞机机械维修专员 · NIW 国家利益豁免：动议驳回（2024年12月12日）

案件背景

申请人自称飞机机械维护专家，通过I-140申请EB-2特殊能力类别并请求国家利益豁免职位邀请要求；原审由德州服务中心主任拒绝，后续上诉及合并 reopen/reconsider 动议曾被驳回，本次再次以合并 reopen 与 reconsider 动议请求复核。

审理经过

1. 初次决定

   德州服务中心主任拒绝I-140申请，认定申请人未证明基础EB-2类别资格及国家利益豁免。

   核对原文依据

   The Director of the Texas Service Center denied the petition, concluding the Petitioner did not establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 immigrant classification or a national interest waiver.

2. 上诉

   申请人提出上诉；上诉时依赖此前提交给主任的同一份个人陈述，未随上诉提交新的 endeavor statement。

   核对原文依据

   On appeal, the Petitioner relied on the same personal statement submitted before the Director. The new endeavor statement was submitted for the fist time with his combined motion to reopen and reconsider.

3. 上诉决定

   AAO驳回上诉，承认该 endeavor 具有实质价值，但认为申请人未证明其 endeavor 会产生超出对潜在雇主利益的更广泛影响或重大经济效应。

   核对原文依据

   In our decision dismissing his appeal, we explained that while we acknowledged the substantial merit of this endeavor, we agreed that the Petitioner had not demonstrated his endeavor would result in broader implications beyond the benefits provided to his prospective employers, or otherwise result in substantial economic effects.

4. 先前合并动议

   申请人首次提交合并 reopen 与 reconsider 动议，并首次提交修订后的 endeavor statement；AAO认定该陈述构成对原拟 endeavor 的实质变更，且未证明国家利益豁免资格，驳回合并动议。

   核对原文依据

   we determined that the Petitioner's revised endeavor statement submitted on motion amounted to an attempt to materially change his proposed endeavor.

5. 本次合并动议

   申请人再次提交合并 reopen 与 reconsider 动议，附新书面论证意见、此前个人陈述副本及先前动议中的 endeavor statement 副本，主张两次陈述是同一 endeavor 的“做什么”与“怎么做”，并非实质变更。

   核对原文依据

   On motion, the Petitioner submits a new brief along with a copy of his personal statement submitted before the Director and on appeal, and a copy of his endeavor statement submitted with his prior motion to reopen and reconsider.

   The Petitioner asserts that our prior decision inaccurately interpreted his submission "as two distinct endeavors rather than a single, cohesive proposal with complementary elements."

6. 本次动议决定

   AAO驳回合并动议：认定申请人未提出可改变结果的新事实，也未证明先前决定在法律或政策适用上错误；并指出即使不认定实质变更，仍未证明 endeavor 的国家重要性。

   核对原文依据

   we conclude that the Petitioner has not established new facts relevant to our decision that would warrant reopening of the proceedings, nor has he shown that we erred as a matter of law or policy.
