Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because the AAO lacks jurisdiction to review the Director's denial of an application for extension of stay, as specified in 8 C.F.R. § 214.1(c)(5). The decision notes that even though requests for a petition extension, extension of stay, and change of status can be filed on one form, they are separate determinations, and there is no appeal from the denial of an extension of stay.
