Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed on procedural grounds. The petitioner initially filed a motion to reopen/reconsider, which was dismissed by the director. On appeal to the AAO, the petitioner argued the merits of the original petition instead of establishing that the director erred in dismissing the motion. Because the petitioner did not address the grounds for the motion's dismissal, the AAO deemed the issue abandoned and dismissed the appeal.
