Decision Summary
The combined motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed on procedural grounds. The petitioner failed to properly submit the appeal brief directly to the AAO as required by the Form I-290B instructions, leading to a summary dismissal of the initial appeal. The AAO found the petitioner's arguments that the instructions were ambiguous or that the AAO's address was impossible to find unpersuasive.
