DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Texas 
Service Center, and is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal 
will be rejected. 
8 C.F.R. 5 103.3(a)(l)(iii)(B) states that, for purposes of appeals, certifications, and reopening or 
reconsideration, the aflected party (in addition to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services 
[USCIS]) means the person or entity with legal standing in a proceeding. It does not include the 
beneficiary of a visa petition. 
8 C.F.R. 
 103.3(a)(Z)(v)(A)(l) states that 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 USCIS has accepted will not be refunded. 
The appeal has not been filed by the petitioner, nor by any entity with legal standing in the proceeding, 
but rather by the beneficiary through his attorney. Therefore, the appeal has not been properly filed, and 
must be rejected. 
ORDER: The appeal is rejected.
