H-1B Dismissed — Unknown (2006): the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) lacks jurisdiction
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) lacks jurisdiction over the subject matter. The director's denial of a request for an extension of stay is not an appealable decision under 8 C.F.R. § 214.1(c)(5). Therefore, the petitioner's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel could not be considered.
