EB-2 Dismissed — Unknown (2021): the motion to reconsider was dismissed because it was filed
Decision Summary
The motion to reconsider was dismissed because it was filed untimely. Although the petitioner's counsel cited a COVID-19 diagnosis as a reason for the delay, the AAO determined that regulations do not authorize it to excuse the late filing of a motion to reconsider, unlike a motion to reopen.
