How this record may be used in research
Comparison scope: {'fit': 'motion_reconsideration_and_prior_criteria_findings', 'aggregation_valid': True, 'use': 'Narrow procedural example; cite criteria findings only as the prior AAO decision summarized in this motion ruling, not as a new merits review.', 'do_not_claim': ['Do not characterize a procedural dismissal, rejection, or remand as approval or a completed merits adjudication.', 'Do not infer criterion outcomes beyond those expressly stated.', 'Do not treat explicitly nonprecedent decisions as binding authority.'], 'caveat': 'Use only the source’s narrow finding and cited pages; historical decisions require date/context disclosure.'}
