This case is from a USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) appeal decision. Appeal cases represent a subset of petitions and may not reflect typical outcomes.
Proposed Endeavor
The Petitioner submitted a business plan and resume indicating an intent to work as an entrepreneur and automobile repair worker in the United States. The specific details of the endeavor's impact or methodology were not evaluated in depth due to procedural dismissals.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The motion was dismissed because the Petitioner did not identify any legal error or misapplication of policy in the prior decisions. Additionally, the Petitioner failed to submit evidence that their appeal brief was timely filed with the correct office, and the new evidence provided did not establish eligibility for a motion to reopen.

The motions to reopen and reconsider were dismissed because the Petitioner failed to file them within the required 33-day timeframe from the date the prior decision was mailed (November 6, 2023). The Petitioner's argument relying on the 'mailbox rule' was rejected as it does not apply to USCIS proceedings, which require actual receipt. No evidence of timely receipt was provided, and no reasonable explanation for the delay was offered to excuse the untimely filing. Additionally, the motion to reconsider did not establish that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy.
