Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner filed a second extension petition after the initial one was denied and the beneficiary's lawful status had expired. The AAO affirmed the director's decision, stating that the petitioner's only recourse was to appeal the first denial, not file a new petition. Since the beneficiary had failed to maintain status, the second petition for an extension was properly denied.
