Procedural posture | AAO_posture: Motion to reconsider rejected; prior June 29, 2012 AAO decision affirmed and petition remains denied. The motion evidence did not establish timely filing of the appeal; the mailing record indicated a date 35 days after the Director decision.; citation_pages: 1; 2; classification: motion_to_reconsider_rejected_timeliness_not_established; director_findings: The underlying Director denied the petition March 24, 2011; AAO rejected an appeal on June 29, 2012 as untimely. On motion to reconsider, petitioner asserted timely mailing and submitted purported tracking information. AAO found the cited tracking number did not correlate with the envelope or verify on the carrier site; the other number also produced no tracking information. A “From Date” on the airbill was April 28, 2011, 35 days after the Director decision. AAO rejected the motion, affirmed its prior decision, and left the petition denied. |

How this record may be used in research
Comparison scope: {'fit': 'motion_after_untimely_appeal', 'aggregation_valid': True, 'use': 'Separate category for motion-based challenges to a prior untimeliness ruling; distinguish evidence of attempted mailing from proof of accepted filing.', 'do_not_claim': ['Do not characterize a procedural rejection, dismissal, or remand as a completed merits adjudication.', 'Do not infer individual criterion findings from the Director’s aggregate threshold statements.', 'Do not treat remand as approval.', 'Do not treat a nonprecedent decision as binding authority.'], 'caveat': 'Current decision is procedural; it does not resolve criterion merits.'}

How to use this record
This is a historical, nonprecedent AAO decision about its own administrative record. It is not a prediction, success rate, or current filing instruction. Compare the issue and procedural stage before drawing an analogy. The current framework is in the USCIS Policy Manual, Volume 6, Part F, Chapter 2.
