Motion for Reconsideration on Downgrading

Requested from BI by I. Sanchez at 03:02 PM on Sep 06, 2021.
Purpose: Research

Tracking no: #BI-271264018235

Hi! I would like to request if there are provisions or official document from the Bureau of Immigration covering the filing of Motion for Reconsideration (MR) particularly those that has an Order to Leave from visa downgrading.

From our understanding in the process, the Order to Leave that was issued would be suspended until such time the MR that has been filed is resolved, and that would also apply if we were to apply for the 2nd MR?

In this case, may we get a clarification on the Bureau of Immigration about this?
