Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Director's calculation of the petition's validity period was correct. The petitioner contested a one-day difference, but the AAO affirmed that the petitioner's calculation of the 6-year maximum stay was off by one day, and therefore the Director correctly determined the end date after adding the recaptured time.
