L-1A Dismissed — Business Development: the motion to reopen was dismissed on procedural grounds
Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was dismissed on procedural grounds. The petitioner submitted additional evidence attempting to establish a qualifying relationship, but this evidence was not considered 'new' as it could have been presented earlier in the proceedings. Since the petitioner failed to present new facts that were previously unavailable, the heavy burden for reopening a case was not met.
