EB-3 Dismissed — Culinary Arts (2006): it was improperly filed

Decision Summary

The appeal was rejected because it was improperly filed. The regulations at 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(l)(iii)(B) state that the beneficiary of a visa petition is not an 'affected party' with legal standing to file an appeal. As the appeal was filed by counsel for the beneficiary, not the petitioner, it was rejected without consideration of its merits.
