E-2
dismissed E-2 Case: Unknown
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because the AAO lacks jurisdiction over the denial of an E-2 application for change of status. Regulations state that while most employment-based petitions filed on Form I-129 can be appealed, E nonimmigrant applications are an exception and there is no appeal from their denial.
