L-1A Dismissed — Business (2007): it was improperly filed by the beneficiary's counsel
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because it was improperly filed by the beneficiary's counsel. Under regulations, the beneficiary of a visa petition is not a recognized party with standing to file an appeal; only the petitioner has that right. The AAO noted that even if the appeal had not been rejected, it would have been summarily dismissed for failing to identify a specific error in the director's decision.
