Decision Summary
The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the prior decision involved an incorrect application of law or policy. The petitioner reargued that his education and experience were equivalent to a required degree, but the AAO found this did not meet the plain language of the regulation. Since the petitioner failed to satisfy the prerequisite of meeting at least three evidentiary criteria for exceptional ability, the motion was dismissed.
