Decision Summary
The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to show that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law. The AAO affirmed that regulations permit only one year of L-1 status under a 'new office' petition for a given beneficiary, after which an extension must be filed, not a second new office petition.
