Decision Summary
The AAO dismissed the petitioner's motion to reopen and reconsider. The petitioner's initial appeal of a denial was rejected as untimely, and the motion argued that a courier's delivery delay constituted an 'extraordinary circumstance' that should excuse the late filing. The AAO concluded the motion failed to meet the requirements to reopen (no new facts) or reconsider (failed to establish the prior decision was incorrect based on the evidence).
