Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed on procedural grounds, as the petitioner failed to submit a required statement about judicial proceedings and the new evidence was not truly new. Substantively, the AAO found that the evidence submitted, such as a competition calendar, was insufficient to establish that the petitioner's 4th, 5th, and 6th place finishes in dance competitions constituted nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards.
