Our summary

A self-petitioning professional with an advanced degree sought a national interest waiver. After earlier denial and several dismissed appeals and motions, a fourth combined motion to reopen and reconsider claimed ineffective assistance of prior counsel. The AAO dismissed it because no prejudice or substantial compliance with the required procedure was shown, and the arguments were repeated.
