EB-1B Dismissed — Academia (2006): it was filed after the deadline
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because it was filed after the deadline. The appeal was filed 28 days after the decision was rendered, while regulations require it to be filed within 18 days if the decision was mailed. The director declined to treat the late appeal as a motion, so the AAO rejected it as untimely.
