Decision Summary
The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the substantive requirements. The petitioner only argued eligibility under one criterion, while the regulations require establishing at least three, and thus failed to show the AAO's ultimate conclusion was incorrect. The motion was also dismissed on procedural grounds for failing to include a mandatory statement about whether the decision is the subject of any judicial proceeding.
