Decision Summary

The appeal was rejected because it was improperly filed. Federal regulations at 8 C.F.R. ยง 214.1(c)(5) explicitly state that there is no appeal from the denial of an application for extension of stay filed on Form I-539. Therefore, the AAO lacked jurisdiction to review the decision.

DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the application to extend a period of stay in 
nonimmigrant status. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal 
will be rejected. 
The petitioners seek to extend their period of stay as the nonimmigrant dependants of an intracompany transferee 
pursuant to $ 101 (a)(15)(L) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1 101(a)(15)(L). The director 
denied the application after the nonimmigrant petition of the applicants' spouse and father was denied. 
The applicants, through counsel, filed a Form I-290B in an attempt to appeal the decision of the director. On 
appeal, counsel stated that she would submit a brief andlor evidence to the [AAO] within 30 days. As of this 
date, no brief or additional evidence has been received by the AAO. 
It is noted that 8 C.F.R. 214.1(~)(5) states that there is no appeal from the denial of an application for extension of 
stay filed on Form 1-539. Therefore, the applicant's appeal must be rejected. 
ORDER: The appeal is rejected.
