The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. The Petitioner only satisfied two of the six initial evidentiary criteria for exceptional ability, specifically failing to demonstrate ten years of full-time experience in the occupation (as prior experience as a transportation manager and operation technician was not considered 'in the occupation'), membership in professional associations (as defined by regulation, not online dictionaries), and significant contributions to the industry. The arguments presented were re-evaluations of previously considered claims without new evidence or legal basis.
