Decision Summary
The AAO dismissed the motion to reconsider a prior appeal dismissal. The director and the AAO had previously found that the petitioner, a Swahili teacher, did not establish that an exemption from the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. While the petitioner submitted new evidence on motion regarding their advanced degree, the motion to reconsider was ultimately dismissed.
