Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was granted, but the previous decision to dismiss the appeal was affirmed. The AAO found that the petitioner's awards were not nationally recognized as they were limited to a single comedy club, and the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his memberships were in associations requiring outstanding achievements of their members.
