Decision Summary
The motion was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the previous decision was incorrect. The AAO found the petitioner did not establish that her prize from a youth competition was nationally or internationally recognized, as distinct from the competition itself. Additionally, she failed to prove that her role as concertmaster was for an orchestra with a distinguished reputation in its own right.
