Decision Summary
The motions to reopen and reconsider were dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide new facts or demonstrate a legal error in the prior decision. The AAO reaffirmed its earlier conclusion that while the petitioner's proposed work as a pilot and instructor had substantial merit, it did not meet the 'national importance' prong of the Dhanasar framework, as the evidence did not show his specific activities would have a sufficiently broad impact on the aviation field.
