DISCUSSION: The Director of the Texas Service Center denied the application to extend nonimmigrant 
status, and the matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be 
rejected. 
The applicant seeks to extend her period of stay as a nonirnrnigrant spouse of an intracompany transferee pursuant 
to section 101(a)(15)(L) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 5 1101(a)(15)(L). The director denied 
the application after the nonimrnigrant 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. 9 214.1(~)(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.
