Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary was ineligible for an H-1B extension beyond the six-year limit under AC21. The petitioner filed the extension request less than 365 days after filing the required labor certification. Additionally, the beneficiary's prior H-1B status had expired before the current petition was filed, which separately disqualifies them from an extension of stay.
