Decision Summary
The motions to reopen and reconsider were dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the original decision was incorrect. The petitioner did not prove the beneficiary met the 'membership in associations' criterion, as membership in the organization (WIF LA) did not require outstanding achievements judged by experts. As the petitioner only met one of the required three evidentiary criteria, the beneficiary did not qualify for the classification.
