dismissed L-1A Case: General Merchandise Wholesale
Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed. The petitioner failed to provide new facts to support a motion to reopen, and did not establish that the previous decision was based on an incorrect application of law to support a motion to reconsider. The AAO emphasized that a prior approval for a 'new office' petition does not guarantee an extension, as extensions are governed by different regulations and require re-evaluation.
