Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed for two independent procedural reasons. First, the petitioner did not file the appeal in a timely manner after the initial submission was rejected for being incomplete. Second, the petitioner failed to address one of the Director's independent grounds for denial—the final merits determination of exceptional ability—thereby waiving, abandoning, or forfeiting the issue.
