Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the procedural requirements for a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, as established in Matter of Lozada. Furthermore, the new evidence submitted (an award) was not considered because it was obtained after the original petition was filed, and eligibility must be established at the time of filing.
