L-1A Dismissed — Business Management (2016): the combined motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed
Decision Summary
The combined motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the regulatory requirements. The petitioner did not present new facts for the motion to reopen, nor did they establish that the prior decision was legally incorrect for the motion to reconsider. The petitioner's main argument, that USCIS should have given deference to a prior 'new office' approval, was rejected as policy memorandums specifically exempt L-1A 'new office' extensions from this deference.
