L-1A Dismissed — Manufacturing (2005): the original petition was deemed improperly filed

Decision Summary

The appeal was rejected because the original petition was deemed improperly filed. The beneficiary, rather than an authorized company officer, had signed the petition and later submitted a sworn affidavit stating she had not authorized the signature. Consequently, the AAO concluded that no petition was properly before the agency, there was no appealable decision, and it lacked jurisdiction to adjudicate the matter.
