Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petition to extend status was filed after the beneficiary's prior H-1B status had expired. The petitioner failed to demonstrate extraordinary circumstances to excuse the late filing and also failed to provide sufficient evidence of a pending labor certification application for the required 365-day period to qualify for an extension beyond the standard six-year limit.
