DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the application for an extension of nonimmigrant 
status. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be 
rejected. 
The applicant filed the application seeking to extend her period of stay as the nonimmigrant spouse of an L-1 
intracompany transferee pursuant to 8 C.F.R. 9 2 14.2(1)(15)(ii). On July 2 1,2004, 2004, the director notified 
the applicant of the denial of her application for extension of stay filed on Form 1-539, as the applicant's 
spouse's nonimmigrant petition had been denied on that date. 
The principal applicant, through counsel, filed a Form I-290B in an attempt to appeal the decision of the 
director. On appeal, counsel asserts that the application should have been approved, as the record sufficiently 
demonstrates that the applicant's spouse is qualified for the extension of status sought in L-1A classification. 
It is noted that 8 C.F.R. 9 214.1(~)(5) states that there is no appeal from the denial of an application for 
extension of stay filed on Form 1-129 or 1-539. Accordingly, the applicant's appeal must be rejected. 
ORDER: The appeal is rejected.
