Decision Summary

The motion was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the AAO's prior decision incorrectly applied the law. The AAO maintained that the evidence did not establish the petitioner's role as a visual effects artist on various projects was critical to the organizations themselves, distinguishing between participation in a successful project and holding a role critical to an entire organization or establishment.
