Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the requirements. The petitioner did not present qualifying new facts to reopen the case, nor did they establish that the previous decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. The AAO noted the petitioner's continued confusion regarding the correct evidentiary criteria, referencing regulations for different visa categories and attempting to introduce new claims and evidence that were not part of the original record.
