Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner attempted to change the visa classification from EB-1A (extraordinary ability) to another category after the petition was denied. The AAO held that a petitioner cannot make material changes to a petition after adjudication, especially when the initial incorrect classification allowed the beneficiary to concurrently file for adjustment of status when they would have otherwise been barred.
