dismissed L-1A Case: Retail
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because it was improperly filed by an individual who was not an authorized representative of the petitioner, such as an attorney or accredited representative. Per regulations, an appeal filed by a person not entitled to file it must be rejected. The AAO did not reach the merits of the original denial, which was based on the petitioner's failure to establish the beneficiary would be employed in a managerial or executive capacity.
