H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2015): the combined motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed

Decision Summary

The combined motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed because it was untimely filed. The petitioner submitted the correct form 49 days after the decision, well beyond the 33-day limit, and did not demonstrate the delay was reasonable or beyond their control. The AAO also stated that even if timely, the motion failed to meet the substantive requirements for reopening or reconsideration.
