Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the untimeliness of a prior motion was reasonable and beyond the petitioner's control. The AAO found that the beneficiary's family obligations and medical issues were not sufficient justification, as the petitioner could have made other arrangements to manage its correspondence.
