Decision Summary

The motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed because the regulations do not provide for filing such motions on a previously rejected appeal. The AAO noted that when it rejects an appeal, there is no merits-based decision to review. The decision was procedural, based on the fact that the AAO does not have jurisdiction over appeals of its own decisions.
