Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to pay the correct ACWIA filing fee at the time of filing. The petitioner paid a reduced fee applicable to employers with 25 or fewer employees, but the AAO found that when including the employees of affiliated companies, the total employee count exceeded 25. This filing deficiency could not be cured after the fact, mandating the petition's denial.
