Decision Summary

The motion to reopen was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying classification. Specifically, the petitioner's salary at the time of filing was found to be significantly below the prevailing wage for similar engineering positions in the area, failing the criterion for high remuneration. Evidence of higher earnings submitted on motion was from a period after the petition's filing date and therefore could not be considered.
