Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed. The new evidence submitted for reopening was deemed insufficient, as an article post-dated the petition's filing and new reference letters did not prove contributions of 'major significance.' The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to show that the original decision was based on an incorrect application of law, with the AAO reaffirming that originality alone does not satisfy the 'major significance' requirement.
