Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petition was filed with a deficient signature. The petitioner used a technology application to create an electronic signature from a picture of her original one, which USCIS does not accept for paper filings. The AAO confirmed that the Director has the authority to deny a petition for a non-compliant signature without providing an opportunity to correct the defect.
