Decision Summary
The combined motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed. The petitioner failed to provide new, material facts or establish that the previous decision was based on an incorrect application of law. The underlying appeal was denied because the petitioner's proposed endeavor, opening a Brazilian bakery, did not demonstrate the 'national importance' required under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework.
