The motion to reopen was dismissed because the Petitioner did not assert any new facts or provide new documentary evidence, instead resubmitting previously provided documents. The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the Petitioner did not establish that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy, specifically failing to provide corroborating evidence for timely delivery and misinterpreting the 'mailbox rule' which does not apply to USCIS proceedings governed by 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(a)(7)(i) requiring actual receipt.
