Procedural posture | AAO_posture: Motion to reopen dismissed. The motion failed to address the latest decision; even as to prior issues, the submitted material did not establish the published-material criterion or the outlet’s major-media status.; citation_pages: 1; 2; classification: ninth_Motion to reopen dismissed_not_addressing_latest_decision; director_findings: Director denied, finding only two initial criteria and insufficient evidence of intent to continue in the field. AAO had dismissed the appeal and eight prior motions; this was the ninth motion to reopen. Current motion included website printouts and documents about Sprudge but did not address the latest decision. AAO also said the material did not establish the published-material criterion: visitor/viewing numbers were not contextualized for relevance or significance and petitioner did not show Sprudge was major media; self-promotional cover material was not relevant independent evidence. Motion dismissed. |

How this record may be used in research
Comparison scope: {'fit': 'published_material_criterion_and_motion_scope', 'aggregation_valid': True, 'use': 'Potential narrowly grounded content on evidence of media reach and repeated motions; identify this as a nonprecedent decision and avoid generalizing visitor metrics or naming Sprudge as universally disqualifying.', 'do_not_claim': ['Do not treat a procedural rejection, dismissal, or remand as approval or completed merits adjudication.', 'Do not infer unmentioned individual criterion outcomes from aggregate findings.', 'Do not treat remand as approval.', 'Do not treat an explicitly nonprecedent decision as binding authority.'], 'caveat': 'The decision recounts a prior motion finding on published material but current motion is dismissed; no final-merits determination.'}

How to use this record
This is a historical, nonprecedent AAO decision about its own administrative record. It is not a prediction, success rate, or current filing instruction. Compare the issue and procedural stage before drawing an analogy. The current framework is in the USCIS Policy Manual, Volume 6, Part F, Chapter 2.
