dismissed EB-1C Case: Not Specified
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected as untimely filed because it was submitted 30 days after the director's decision, exceeding the 18-day regulatory deadline for appealing a revocation. Although the director erroneously advised the petitioner they had 30 days, the AAO found no authority to extend the filing period. The appeal also did not meet the requirements to be treated as a motion to reopen or reconsider.
