L-1A Dismissed — Real Estate (2004): the appeal was dismissed due to a procedural failure

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed due to a procedural failure. After the initial petition to extend the beneficiary's stay was denied, the beneficiary fell out of lawful status. Instead of appealing the denial, the petitioner improperly filed a new petition, which the director correctly denied because an extension cannot be granted to an applicant who has failed to maintain status.
