dismissed H-1B Case: Law
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because it was improperly filed by the beneficiary's representative instead of the petitioner. According to regulations, the beneficiary of a visa petition does not have legal standing to file an appeal, so the AAO rejected it on procedural grounds without addressing the merits of the case.
