Decision Summary

Since the beneficiary's representative filed the appeal without evidence of the petitioner's consent, it was procedurally rejected.

DISCUSSION: The preference visa petition was initially approved by the Director, Texas Service Center. 
On further review of the record, the director determined that the petitioner was not eligible for the benefit 
sought. Accordingly, the director properly served the petitioner with a notice of his intention to revoke the 
approval of the preference visa petition, and his reasons therefore. The director ultimately revoked the 
approval of the petition. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The 
appeal will be rejected as improperly filed pursuant to 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(2)(v)(A)(l). 
The petitioner is a corporation that seeks to employ the beneficiary as its executive director and has therefore 
petitioned to classify the beneficiary as an employment-based immigrant pursuant to section 203(b)(1)(C) of 
the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.c. ยง 1 1 53(b)(1)(C), as a multinational executive or 
manager. 
The record of proceeding contains a properly executed Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as 
Attorney or Representative, for the beneficiary'S authorized representative. Following the director's decision 
revoking the approval of the visa petition, counsel for the beneficiary signed and filed this appeal on behalf of 
the beneficiary. 
The beneficiary of a visa petition is not an affected party that may be recognized in this proceeding. 8 C.F.R. 
ยง 103.2(a)(3). United States Citizenship and Immigration Services' (USCIS) regulations specifically prohibit 
a beneficiary of a visa petition, or a representative acting on a beneficiary's behalf, from filing an appeal. 8 
C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(l )(iii)(B). No evidence suggests that the petitioner consented to the filing of the appeal.l 
As the beneficiary and his representative are not recognized parties, the appeal must be rejected as improperly 
filed pursuant to 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(2)(v)(A)(l). 
ORDER: The appeal is rejected. 
1 Furthermore, the record contains a properly executed Form G-28 from an attorney who indicates that she 
represents both the beneficiary and the petitioner. There is no documentation to show that this attorney has 
withdrawn her representation of the petitioner in this matter.
