Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed as untimely filed. The petitioner filed the appeal 31 days after the decision was issued, which is beyond the 15-day (or 18-day if mailed) period required by regulation. The AAO noted that even though the director's notice incorrectly informed the petitioner of a 30-day filing window, this error does not override the governing regulation.
