Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was denied because the petitioner failed to establish that she meets at least three of the required evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. The AAO found the evidence for the 'membership' criterion insufficient as it lacked documentation of the team's selective standards. Similarly, the evidence for 'original contributions' was deemed inadequate because the reference letters did not demonstrate that her coaching methodologies had a major, widespread impact on the sport.
