EB-1C Dismissed โ Unspecified: it was not properly filed
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because it was not properly filed. The appeal was submitted by an attorney representing the beneficiary, but regulations state that the beneficiary of a visa petition is not a recognized party in the proceeding and is not authorized to file an appeal. Since only the petitioner has standing to appeal, the improperly filed appeal was rejected.
