Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was granted because new evidence was submitted, but the original denial was affirmed and the appeal ultimately dismissed. The petitioner provided evidence of a new lease, a new employee, and recent bank statements, but this evidence was all dated after the initial petition filing date. A petitioner must establish eligibility at the time of filing, and evidence created after this date cannot be used to cure deficiencies in the original petition.
