Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the H-1B extension petition was filed after the beneficiary's authorized period of stay had expired. The petitioner failed to demonstrate that the delay was due to extraordinary circumstances beyond their control, as required by regulation 8 C.F.R. § 214.1(c)(4) for a late filing to be excused. The petitioner provided inconsistent and unpersuasive explanations for the delay, which undermined their credibility.
