EB-1B Dismissed โ Biology: the appeal was rejected on procedural grounds rather than
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected on procedural grounds rather than the merits of the case. It was determined to be improperly filed because it was submitted by the beneficiary's attorney, who lacks legal standing, instead of by the petitioner. Furthermore, the appeal was filed untimely, 35 days after the decision was issued, which is beyond the 33-day deadline for appeals.
