The AAO found that the Director's decision to dismiss the petitioner's motion to reopen and motion to reconsider as untimely was incorrect. The motions were filed 32 days after the Director's decision, which was within the 33-day window allowed when the decision is served by mail. Therefore, the AAO withdrew the Director's decision and remanded the case for a new decision consistent with this analysis, specifically for the Director to adjudicate the motions on their merits.
