On May 30, 2002, the director notified the principal applicant of the denial of her application for extension of stay filed on Form 1-539, as the applicant's spouse's nonimmigrant petition had been denied on that date.

It is noted that 8 C.F.R. 5 214.1(~)(5) states that there is no appeal from the denial of an application for extension of stay filed on Form 1-539. Accordingly, the applicants' appeal must be rejected. ORDER: The appeal is rejected.
