Decision Summary
The petitioner's second combined motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed. The motion to reopen failed because the new evidence, including a letter from a karate federation, was insufficient to demonstrate that membership on the national team required outstanding achievements or that the petitioner's role was leading or critical. The petitioner did not establish that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy.
