Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was dismissed because the new evidence, including scholarly citations and a fellowship, was obtained after the original petition was filed. A petitioner must establish eligibility at the time of filing, and new facts cannot be used to approve a previously deficient petition. Additionally, the petitioner failed to submit sufficient supporting documentation for the claimed fellowship.
