Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because it was untimely filed. 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.
