Source holds and limits
Cover is dated May 20, 2008, but body recites events through June 2013. Verify date/identity against authoritative record before publishing procedural chronology.
Specific caveats recorded by the reviewer
Strong procedural example about adjudicator failing to consider documented timely response; no criterion merits outcome. Date on cover is May 20, 2008 while p.2 recites 2012–2013 procedural events, creating chronology conflict; hold.
No individual criterion state is inferred from director-level general findings or procedural disposition.
Source-cited findings recorded in review
p. 2 states founder/CEO in information technology, filing and NOID chronology, receipt evidence, failure to consider response and order. p. 1 cover date/classification.
How this record may be used in research
Comparison scope: Group only by distinct procedural mechanism: motion requirements/timeliness; ordinary untimely appeal; summary dismissal for failure to identify error; remand for consideration of NOID response. Exclude held/incomplete cases until reconciled.
Editorial use note: Hold pending reconciliation.

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.
