DISCUSSION: The Director of the California Service Center denied the application to extend noniinmigrant 
status, and denied a motion to reopen/reconsider such decision. The matter is now before the Administrative 
Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be rejected.

to section 101(a)(15)(L) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. fj 1101(a)(15)(L). The director denied
