Decision Summary
The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner did not demonstrate that the previous decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. The motion to reopen was dismissed because the petitioner's awards, such as a second place at a World Championship, were not found to qualify as a major, internationally recognized 'one-time achievement' on par with an Olympic medal or Nobel Prize.
