Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary was not eligible for an H-1B extension beyond the six-year limit. The beneficiary's prior approved I-140 immigrant petition, which could have formed the basis for an extension under AC21, had been automatically revoked after the previous petitioning employer withdrew it. The AAO found that a revoked I-140 does not confer eligibility for such an extension.
Criteria Discussed
