Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was dismissed because it was filed untimely. The petitioner filed the motion 217 days after the unfavorable decision, well beyond the extended 60-day deadline provided during the COVID-19 pandemic. The petitioner's explanation for the delay was deemed insufficient to demonstrate that the late filing was reasonable and beyond his control.
