The motion to reopen was dismissed due to the absence of new facts or documentary evidence. The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the Petitioner did not establish that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. The AAO found the Petitioner did not meet the published material criterion (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(h)(3)(iii)) as the article was not established to be about him and the website's major media status was not proven. Additionally, the commercial success criterion (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(h)(3)(x)) was not met because the success of projects was not attributable to the Petitioner's specific work.

The motion to reopen was dismissed because the Petitioner did not submit new facts or documentary evidence. The motion to reconsider was dismissed as the Petitioner failed to establish that the prior AAO decision (November 2024) was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. Specifically, the Petitioner did not identify specific errors regarding the 'published material' (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(h)(3)(iii)) and 'commercial success' (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(h)(3)(x)) criteria, nor did they show error in reserving the totality of the evidence analysis.

The Petitioner's awards (Best Actress 2012 and Honored Artist 2011) were received several years before filing and did not demonstrate continuing acclaim. Her film and TV roles were primarily supporting, and media coverage was largely in publications with limited reach. The judging experience involved children's competitions, which did not reflect the high level of expertise required for the classification.

The Petitioner failed to meet the membership criterion as ANDI 'Partner' status did not require outstanding achievements. Published material in 27prmedia.com and examiner.com lacked evidence of major media status, and other articles lacked required metadata or were not about the Petitioner. Financial evidence showed yearly earnings (max $19,600) well below the California average for actors ($26,989), and box office receipts for films like 'The Angriest Man in Brooklyn' ($1.49M) were not shown to be commercially successful relative to the industry.
