Decision Summary

The motion to reopen and reconsider was denied, upholding the previous dismissal of the appeal. The petitioner failed to meet the requirements for a motion, presenting no new facts and not establishing that the prior decision incorrectly applied the law. The underlying appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not prove the accountant role was a specialty occupation, as the job description was too broad and not sufficiently differentiated from routine bookkeeping.
