Procedural posture | AAO_posture: The AAO dismissed the appeal on February 13, 2018 and served that decision by mail. An initial motion attempt was rejected for an incorrect fee.

The record did not establish reasonable delay beyond the petitioner’s control; the motion to reopen was untimely and no exception applied to the motion to reconsider.; citation_pages: 1; 2; classification: combined_motion_to_reopen_and_reconsider_denied_as_untimely; director_findings: The Texas Service Center denied the petition and the AAO had dismissed the subsequent appeal; this decision concerns only the later combined motion. |
