Decision Summary
The AAO denied the petitioner's motion to reopen and reconsider a prior dismissal. The new evidence failed to satisfy the regulatory criteria, as the petitioner's awards were not shown to be nationally or internationally recognized for excellence, the submitted articles were not from major media, and his contributions as a coach were not proven to be of major significance to the field as a whole.
