Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed on procedural grounds because the signature on the appellate Form I-290B was determined to be invalid. The AAO concluded the signature was an electronically applied image rather than an original handwritten signature, citing imperfections and evidence it was copied from another source. As the form was not properly signed, the appeal was not considered properly filed.
