L-1A Dismissed — Unknown: the director rejected the petitioner's initial appeal
Decision Summary
The director rejected the petitioner's initial appeal because it was filed after the deadline. The petitioner then filed a motion to the AAO, which the AAO rejected, stating it lacked jurisdiction. The AAO concluded that because the director made the last decision in the case (rejecting the appeal), any subsequent motion must be filed with the director, not the AAO.
