Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed on de novo review because the underlying Form I-140 petition was improperly filed. The petitioner signed the form using an autopen, which is not a valid signature under USCIS regulations that require a handwritten signature for paper filings. An improperly signed petition is not considered properly filed and is subject to dismissal.
