Dismissed
L-1A
L-1A Dismissed — Unknown (2005): regulations at 8 C.F.R
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because regulations at 8 C.F.R. § 214.1(c)(5) state that there is no appeal from the denial of an application for an extension of stay. The AAO also found the appeal moot, as the beneficiary had already adjusted her status to an immigrant. The underlying petition was denied because it was not filed at least six months prior to the beneficiary's five-year limit as an L-1B nonimmigrant, a requirement to be eligible for the extended seven-year stay as an L-1A.
Criteria Discussed
Timeliness Of Filing For Change Of Status From L-1B To L-1A Eligibility For Extension Beyond Five-Year Limit Non-Appealability Of An Extension Of Stay Denial Mootness
