What the AAO decision addressed
Motions did not establish error or new facts sufficient to add a third criterion; original findings of two criteria remained, but threshold was unmet.

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.
