Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed. A previous appeal had already been dismissed because the petitioner failed to specifically identify any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact in the director's decision. The AAO also noted a discrepancy, stating that the petitioner's extraordinary ability as a competitor is not the same area of expertise as his intended work as a martial arts instructor and coach.
