dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Civil Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because the underlying Form I-140 petition was not properly filed. The petitioner's attorney signed the form instead of an authorized officer or employee of the petitioning company, as required by regulation 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(a)(2). Because the petition was not properly signed by the petitioner, it was deemed invalid, and the appeal could not be pursued.
