Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and motion to reconsider were both dismissed. The petitioner failed to meet the requirements for a motion to reopen by not stating new facts, and failed to meet the requirements for a motion to reconsider by not establishing that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. The underlying denial was based on the petitioner not being well positioned to advance his proposed endeavor, especially after making a material change to his endeavor from medical researcher to physician.
