Classification / field stated in source | Classification not stated in the normalized review fields |
Procedural posture | AAO_posture: Appeal of Texas Service Center denial of Form I-140 EB-1A petition.; citation_pages: 3; 4; 5; 6; classification: Appeal of Texas Service Center denial of Form I-140 EB-1A petition. |
Operative disposition | {'outcome': 'Appeal dismissed.', 'basis': 'The readable pages reject the awards criterion, membership criterion and original-contribution criterion. Two consecutive physical PDF pages (7–8) are blank even though the printed decision pagination jumps from page 6 to page 9; page 6 ends mid-sentence. The missing-text gap prevents complete review of any findings that may appear in those pages.', 'citation_pages': [3, 4, 5, 6, 9]} |
Final-merits status | The preserved source text is incomplete: two blank physical pages interrupt the opinion between printed pages 6 and 9. Do not infer whether missing pages contain further criterion or final-merits analysis. |

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.
