dismissed E-2 Case: Treaty Investor
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) lacks jurisdiction over denials of E-2 Treaty Investor applications. The regulations explicitly state there is no appeal for a denied change of status or extension of stay for the E-2 classification, with a narrow exception for CNMI investors not applicable here.
