Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed on procedural grounds because the petitioner's signature on the appeal form (Form I-290B) and attorney representation form (G-28) was not a valid, original handwritten signature. The AAO determined that the signatures were identical, electronically applied images, which violates regulatory requirements and invalidates the appeal.
