Decision Summary
The motions to reopen and reconsider were dismissed. The motion to reopen failed because the submitted evidence of awards and articles was dated after the original petition was filed, and eligibility must be established at the time of filing. The motion to reconsider was dismissed for failing to identify an incorrect application of law or policy, instead reiterating arguments already made on appeal.
