Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) lacks jurisdiction to review the denial of an E-2 application for a change of status. Per regulations, unlike most employment-based petitions filed on Form I-129, there is no right to appeal the denial of an E-2 application for extension of stay or change of status.
Criteria Discussed
