Decision Summary
The initial appeal was rejected as untimely because it was filed 36 days after the director's decision, exceeding the 33-day limit for mailed decisions. The subsequent motion to reopen this rejection was dismissed because the AAO determined it lacked jurisdiction, as it had not made a substantive decision on the appeal's merits, only a procedural rejection.
