MATTER OF C-G-C 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
DATE: JAN. 22.2018 
MOTION ON ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS OFFICE DECISION 
PETITION: FORM I-140. IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER 
The Petitioner, a Spanish language specialist and teacher, seeks classification as an individual of 
extraordinary ability in education. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 
203(b)(I)(A). 8 U.S.C. ยง 1153(b)(l)(A). This first preference classification makes immigrant visas 
available to those who can demonstrate their extraordinary ability through sustained national or 
international acclaim and whose achievements have been recognized in their field through extensive 
documentation. 
The Director of the Texas Service Center denied the Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien 
Worker, concluding that the Petitioner had not satisfied any of the initial evidentiary criteria. We 
dismissed the subsequent appeal and motion to reconsider. The matter is now before us on a motion 
to reopen and a motion to reconsider. Upon review. we will deny the motions. 
A motion to reopen must state the new facts to be proved in the reopened proceeding and be 
supported by affidavits or other documentary evidence. 8 C.F.R. ยง I 03.5(a)(2). A motion to 
reconsider must state the reasons for reconsideration and be supported by any pertinent precedent 
decisions to establish that the decision was based on an incorrect application of law or users 
policy. A motion that does not meet applicable requirements shall be dismissed. 8 C.F.R. 
ยง I 03.5(a)(4). 
On motion, the Petitioner submits a letter that does not address the basis for our prior decisions. The 
Petitioner has not asserted new facts to be proved in the reopened proceeding. and does not cite 
binding precedent decisions or other legal authority establishing that we or the director incorrectly 
applied the pertinent law or agency policy and that the prior decisions were erroneous based on the 
evidence of record at the time. Therefore, the motions do not satisfy applicable requirements. 
ORDER: The motion to reopen is denied. 
FURTHER ORDER: The motion to reconsider is denied.
