dismissed L-1B Case: Banking
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected as untimely. Although the initial appeal form was submitted within the 33-day deadline, it was filed with an incorrect fee, and therefore did not retain its filing date. The appeal was considered properly filed only upon resubmission with the correct fee, which occurred 58 days after the director's decision was served, well outside the allowed timeframe.
