Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected as improperly filed because it was submitted by the beneficiary, not the petitioner. Under federal regulations, the beneficiary is not considered an 'affected party' with legal standing to file an appeal. The AAO also noted that the petitioner was deceased, which would prevent any further action on the petition.
