dismissed EB-1B Case: Biology
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected, and effectively dismissed, on procedural grounds. The AAO determined the appeal was not filed by the petitioner, the proper party with legal standing, but by the beneficiary's attorney. Additionally, the appeal was received by the service center 35 days after the decision was issued, which was beyond the 33-day deadline, making it untimely.
