DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, 
Nebraska Service Center. The petition is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) 
on appeal. The appeal will be rejected. 
The petitioner seeks classification of the beneficiary as an employment-based immigrant 
pursuant to section 203(b)(l)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. (i 
11 53(b)(l)(A), as an alien of extraordinary ability. The director determined the petitioner had not 
established the beneficiary's sustained national or international acclaim necessary to qualify for 
classification as an alien of extraordinary ability. 
The regulation at 8 C.F.R. (i 103.3(a)(l)(iii) states, in pertinent part: 
(B) Meaning of affected party. For purposes of this section and (is 103.4 and 
103.5 of this part, affected party (in addition to the Service) means the person 
or entity with legal standing in a proceeding. It does not include the 
beneficiary of a visa petition. 
The regulation at 8 C.F.R. (i 103.3(a)(2)(v) states: 
Improperly fled appeal - (A) Appeal fled by person or entity not entitled to 
fle it - (I) Rejection without refund offling fee. An appeal filed by a person 
or entity not entitled to file it must be rejected as improperly filed. In such a 
case, any filing fee the Service has accepted will not be refunded. 
Only an affected party, a person or entity with legal standing, may file an appeal of an unfavorable 
decision. It is noted that the only G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or 
Representative, in the record of proceeding is on behalf of the beneficiary, and has been signed by 
the beneficiary and not by the petitioner. The appeal has not been filed by the petitioner or by any 
entity with legal standing in the proceeding, but rather, by counsel for the beneficiary. Therefore the 
appeal has not been properly filed and must be rejected. 
ORDER: The appeal is rejected.
