Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because the AAO lacks jurisdiction over the beneficiary's maintenance-of-status issue, which was the sole basis for the appeal. The petitioner failed to address the Director's finding that the proffered position did not qualify as a specialty occupation, which would have resulted in a summary dismissal even if jurisdiction existed.
