Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected and procedurally dismissed. The AAO determined that regulations do not allow an appeal from a denial for abandonment, which was the basis for the director's initial decision. Furthermore, the appeal was improperly filed by the beneficiary's attorney, who is not considered an 'affected party' with legal standing to file an appeal on behalf of the petitioner.
