L-1A Dismissed — Restaurant (2018): the decision denies the petitioner's fifth motion to reopen
Decision Summary
The decision denies the petitioner's fifth motion to reopen and reconsider. The underlying appeal was originally rejected as untimely filed. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's arguments, including invoking the 'Doctrine of Excusable Neglect' from the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, were invalid as those rules do not apply to AAO proceedings, and immigration regulations do not grant discretionary authority to excuse an untimely appeal.
