dismissed EB-1C Case: Food Import/Export
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected on procedural grounds, not on the merits of the case. The AAO determined that the appeal was improperly filed because it was submitted by an attorney representing the beneficiary, not the petitioner. Under immigration regulations, the beneficiary of a visa petition is not a recognized party and therefore lacks the standing to file an appeal.
