Decision Summary

The motion to reconsider was denied because the petitioner failed to establish that the previous AAO decision was incorrect. The petitioner did not prove their membership in an association required outstanding achievements, that their scholarly contributions were of major significance, or that their role was leading or critical for the organization as a whole rather than just a committee. New evidence submitted with the motion was not considered, as is standard for a motion to reconsider.
