Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was denied, effectively dismissing the petitioner's attempt to overturn the prior denial. The petitioner argued that achievements occurring after the filing date should be considered, but the AAO affirmed that eligibility must be established at the time of filing, as required by regulation. The petitioner had only met one of the required three evidentiary criteria at the time of filing and the new evidence of post-filing accomplishments could not cure this deficiency.
