Decision Summary
The motion was dismissed because the AAO lacks jurisdiction to hear appeals for denials of E-2 extension of stay applications. Regulations at 8 C.F.R. § 214.1(c)(5) explicitly state there is no appeal from such a denial. Because the original decision was not appealable, the AAO also has no jurisdiction to adjudicate subsequent motions to reopen or reconsider.
