L-1A Dismissed — Retail (2024): the motion to reopen was dismissed because it was untimely
Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was dismissed because it was untimely filed after an initial rejection for an incorrect fee, and the petitioner did not establish the delay was reasonable. Additionally, the motion failed to present new, relevant facts to warrant reopening; it included previously submitted documents, a conflicting job description, and a tax return for a different business, which raised serious credibility issues.
