Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was denied, upholding the previous dismissal of the appeal. The petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the 'membership' criterion because the evidence was dated six years after the petition filing and did not prove the organization requires outstanding achievements. Similarly, his work as an intern was insufficient to demonstrate a 'leading or critical role', and therefore he did not meet the minimum three criteria required for the classification.
