AAO research
EB-1A outcome — AAO decision SEP022005_15B2203: Ambiguous mixed source hold. Review source status, procedural posture and the official USCIS PDF.
Decision summary: AAO decision SEP022005_15B2203: Ambiguous mixed source hold. The assigned filename/ID corresponds to a September 2, 2005 decision, while most of the PDF appears to be a separate May 23, 2005 botanical-research decision. The final two pages concern another petition and disposition; no unified case finding is safe.
Source limitation: The review record contains a source hold or limitation. Read the limitation below before relying on any case detail; unresolved facts are not treated as findings.
Scope classification from review: The pages contain mixed case identities; source cannot safely be mapped to this inventory ID.. This is a source-review label, not a legal conclusion.
Decision snapshot
Decision ID | SEP022005_15B2203 |
|---|---|
Decision date as printed | Identity ambiguous: cover page prints September 2, 2005, but pages 1–9 appear to be a distinct earlier decision dated May 23, 2005 |
Classification / field stated in source | Pages 1–9 and 10–11 show different decision identities; do not attribute a single date/field to the full PDF. |
Procedural posture | PDF contains at least two decision identities concatenated; last two pages are not a continuation of the first nine. |
Operative disposition | ambiguous_mixed_source_hold |
Final-merits status | Source identity and document boundaries are unresolved; no aggregate criterion or final-merits result can be safely attributed to the assigned source ID. |

Source holds and limits
