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. 
The applicant seeks to extend his period of stay as a nonirnmigrant spouse of an intracompany transferee pursuant 
to section 101(a)(15)(L) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. fj 1101(a)(15)(L). The director denied 
the application after the nonirnrnigrant petition of the applicant's spouse was denied. The applicant, through 
counsel, filed a Form I-290B in an attempt to appeal the decision of the director. 
The regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง 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 applicant's appeal must be rejected. 
ORDER: The appeal is rejected.
