Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because it was improperly filed. The Notice of Appeal (Form I-290B) was signed by the attorney instead of the petitioner, which violates USCIS signature requirements. The AAO noted that the underlying Form I-140 petition was also improperly signed by the attorney and should have been rejected at the time of filing.
