dismissed L-1A Case: Restaurant
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected as untimely because it was filed 40 days after the decision was issued, exceeding the 33-day limit. The AAO also noted that even if timely, the appeal would have been dismissed for failing to identify a specific error in the director's decision and for failing to establish eligibility at the time of filing concerning physical premises, investment, a qualifying relationship, or the beneficiary's employment abroad.
