dismissed EB-1B Case: Academia
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected on procedural grounds because it was filed by the beneficiary, not the petitioner. Under the regulations, only the petitioner has legal standing to file an appeal in this type of proceeding. The AAO noted that the original denial may have been improperly issued to the beneficiary and suggested the service center reissue it to the petitioner to secure their appellate rights.
