Decision Summary
The motion to reconsider was denied because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for a third criterion. The petitioner's argument centered on the 'membership in associations' criterion, but the AAO concluded that the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence that membership on the national sailing teams required outstanding achievements as judged by experts. The AAO affirmed its prior decision that the petitioner had not met the required number of criteria for the classification.
