dismissed L-1A Case: Business
Decision Summary
The initial appeal was summarily dismissed because the petitioner failed to submit a brief. In a subsequent motion to reopen, counsel asserted that a brief was sent but failed to provide documentary evidence, such as a mailing receipt or tracking number, to prove it was delivered to the AAO. The AAO concluded that unsupported assertions from counsel do not meet the petitioner's burden of proof and affirmed the dismissal.
