dismissed L-1A Case: Retail Convenience Stores
Decision Summary
The motion to reconsider was dismissed because it was untimely filed 85 days after the AAO's decision, far exceeding the 33-day limit, with no reasonable explanation for the delay. Additionally, the motion failed to meet the substantive requirements as it did not present new facts or argue that the AAO's prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law, instead resubmitting arguments already considered and rejected on appeal.
