Decision Summary
The motions to reopen and reconsider were dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide new facts to support reopening the case. The petitioner also did not establish that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy, and the AAO determined it lacks the legal authority to apply the petitioner's primary argument of equitable estoppel.
