Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected as improperly filed because it was submitted by the Church of Scientology International, which was not the petitioner and therefore lacked legal standing. The decision clarifies that the alien beneficiary was the self-petitioner. The AAO also noted that even if properly filed, the appeal would have been summarily dismissed for failing to specify any factual or legal errors in the director's decision.
