How this record may be used in research
Comparison scope: Group summary dismissals for failure to identify a specific error separately from untimely appeal rejections; separate revocation appeals from ordinary appeal deadlines. The two categories answer procedural questions, not substantive EB-1A eligibility.
Editorial use note: Potential inclusion in a source-cited procedural index after editorial review; do not present as substantive criterion precedent.
