dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Chemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because it challenged the director's denial of an untimely motion to reopen and reconsider. The petitioner failed to demonstrate that the one-day delay in filing the motion was reasonable and beyond her control, as required by regulation. Since the petitioner did not successfully challenge the dismissal of the motion, the AAO did not address the merits of the original petition denial.
