Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to submit any substantive supporting evidence in response to the director's request for evidence (RFE). The petitioner argued that deference should be given to a prior approval, but the AAO affirmed that each petition must be adjudicated on its own merits and failure to submit requested evidence is grounds for denial.
