The director's decision was issued on September 23, 2008, and the appeal was received on October 28, 2008, which was 35 days later and outside the 33-day filing period. The AAO found that the late appeal did not meet the requirements to be treated as a motion to reopen or reconsider, and therefore it had no authority to extend the deadline.
