DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the immigrant visa petition. The matter is now 
before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be rejected as untimely filed. 
In order to properly file an appeal, the regulation at 8 C.P.R. § 103.3(a)(2)(i) provides that the affected party 
or the attorney or representative of record must file the complete appeal within 30 days of service of the 
unfavorable decision. If the decision was mailed, the appeal must be filed within 33 days. See 8 C.P.R. § 
103.8(b). The date of filing is not the date of mailing, but the date of actual receipt. See 8 C.P.R. § 
103.2(a)(7)(i). 
The record indicates that the service center director issued the decision on September 16, 20 II. It is noted 
that the service center director properly gave notice to the petitioner that it had 33 days to file the appeal. 
Neither the Act nor the pertinent regulations grant the AAO authority to extend this time limit. 
The record shows that the Porm I-290B was received by the service center on October 28, 2011, or 42 days 
after the decision was issued. Accordingly, the appeal was untimely filed. 
As the appeal was untimely filed, the appeal must be rejected. 
ORDER: The appeal is rejected.
