Decision Summary
The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law. The AAO affirmed its original findings that the petitioner did not establish that his membership in baseball leagues (LIDOM and MLB) required outstanding achievements of individual players. Furthermore, the submitted published materials were deemed insufficient as many lacked an author or date as required by regulation, and others were not primarily about the petitioner but rather his team.
