E-2
dismissed E-2 Case: Unknown
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because the AAO lacks jurisdiction over denials of Form I-129 applications for E-2 Treaty Investor status. According to regulations, E classification is conferred by an application, not a petition, and there is no right to appeal a denial for a change of status or extension of stay, except for specific cases related to the CNMI.
