Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because it was filed by the beneficiary, not the petitioner. Under CIS regulations, a beneficiary is not a recognized party in the proceeding and therefore lacks the legal standing to file an appeal. The AAO's decision was procedural and did not address the merits of whether the position was a specialty occupation.
