Decision Summary
The motions to reconsider and reopen were denied because the petitioner did not establish that the previous decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. The new evidence, consisting of reference letters from fellow artists, was found insufficient as the letters lacked specific details about the petitioner's contributions and their actual impact on the field, failing to meet the 'original contributions of major significance' criterion.
