DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the petition for a nonimmigrant visa. 
 The 
Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) dismissed the subsequently filed appeal and affirmed the director's 
decision to deny the petition. The petitioner filed a motion to reconsider. The AAO dismissed the motion on 
June 13, 2005. On July 18, 2005, the petitioner appealed the AAO's dismissal of the motion to the AAO. The 
appeal will be rejected. 
The petitioner filed this nonimmigrant visa petition seeking to extend its authorization to employ the 
beneficiary as an L-1 A nonimmigrant intracompany transferee pursuant to section 10 1 (a)(15)(L) of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 5 1 101(a)(15)(L). The petitioner is a corporation 
organized under the laws of the State of Florida and is allegedly an import/export business. The petitioner 
claims a qualifying relationship with 
 of Venezuela. The beneficiary was initially 
approved for L-1A status for one year 
 e United States, and the petitioner now seeks 
to extend the beneficiary's stay. 
The regulation at 8 C.F.R. fj 103.5(a)(6) states that a decision by a director on a motion to reopen or 
reconsider may be appealed to the AAO only if the original decision was appealable to the AAO. In this 
matter, the decision on the motion in question was made by the AAO, not by the director. As an appeal from 
a decision by the AAO on a motion is not identified in 8 C.F.R. fj 103.5 and is not listed as an appealable 
decision elsewhere in the regulations, the appeal must be rejected. See 8 C.F.R. fj 103.3. 
ORDER: The appeal is rejected.
