dismissed L-1A Case: Retail
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's motion to reopen and reconsider was untimely filed, 37 days after the director's decision. The petitioner's counsel asserted they did not receive the denial notice until the day the motion was due, but failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove the delay was reasonable and beyond their control. Therefore, the director's decision to dismiss the motion as untimely was upheld.
