Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was dismissed because it was untimely filed. The petitioner initially sent the motion to the wrong office (the AAO instead of the Vermont Service Center), and by the time it was correctly filed, it was beyond the 30-day deadline. The AAO determined this delay was not reasonable or beyond the petitioner's control.
