Decision Summary
The combined motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the previous decision was incorrect. The AAO affirmed that the petitioner did not establish the 'national importance' of her specific endeavor, which involved promoting breastfeeding, as required by the Dhanasar framework. The petitioner's evidence was found to relate to the general importance of the field rather than demonstrating the national-level impact of her proposed specific activities.
